Four ETA suspects arrested in Spain
AFP - Tuesday, October 28
MADRID, (AFP) - - Four alleged members of the armed Basque separatist group ETA were arrested early Tuesday at Pamplona and Valencia in the north and south of Spain respectively, national television reported.
National police, who carried out the operation, were searching several homes for weapons and explosives, the television said.
The Spanish interior ministry and national police were not immediately available to confirm the report.
National radio said those arrested were not armed but apparently belonged to a recently set-up "operational group".
ETA, listed as a terrorist organisation by the European Union and the United States, is considered responsible for 824 deaths in its 40-year-long violent campaign for an independent Basque Country, which straddles northern Spain and southwest France.
The group resumed its campaign of attacks after breaking its last ceasefire in June 2007, and has been responsible for five deaths, including three Spanish security officers, one soldier and a former Basque Socialist elected official.
Spain's top anti-terrorism judge Baltasar Garzon last week indicted 24 people on charges that they belonged to a ring that extorted money for ETA.
The 24 allegedly sent letters demanding payment of ETA's so-called "revolutionary tax" to businesses in the Basque region and neighbouring Navarra or were involved in the collection of the money from their victims.
