(dpa) - Spain's Socialist Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero and his conservative challenger Mariano Rajoy on Friday agreed to suspend electoral rallies on the last campaign day after suspected Basque separatists killed a local politician, sources of Rajoy's People's Party (PP) said.
Former Socialist councillor Isaias Carrasco, 42, was shot by one person three times in the back of the neck as he was leaving his home in the Basque town of Arrasate ahead of Sunday's general elections.
Carrasco died at hospital shortly afterwards.
