Admiral Carrero Blanco was killed in Madrid by the Basque independence group ETA on 20 December 1973. The assassination is considered to have been the biggest attack against the Francoists since the end of the Spanish Civil War

The ETA was a leftist Basque nationalist group which engaged in self-defense against the Francoist regime. The group was founded in 1959 and later evolved from a group promoting traditional Basque culture to a paramilitary group.

Luis Carrero Blanco was Francisco Franco's hand-picked successor, and was appointed while Franco was dying. So, double ownage when Blanco got assassinated less than six months later.

An ETA commando unit using the code name Txikia rented a basement flat at Calle Claudio Coello 104, Madrid, on the route by which Blanco regularly went to mass at San Francisco de Borja church. Over five months, the unit dug a tunnel under the street – telling the landlord that they were student sculptors to hide their true purpose. The tunnel was packed with 80 kg (180 lb) of Goma-2 that had been stolen from a Government depot.

On 20 December at 9:36 AM, a three-man ETA commando unit disguised as electricians detonated the explosives by command wire as Blanco's Dodge Dart passed. The blast sent Blanco and his car 20 metres (66 ft) into the air and over the five-story church, landing on the second-floor terrace of the opposite side. This earned him the moniker of “Spain’s First Astronaut”
