French police discover network of ETA arms caches
Published in Saudi Press Agency on 21 - 08 - 2009


French police have discovered a network of arms
caches of the militant Basque separatist group ETA in the south of
the country, Spanish police sources said Friday, according to dpa.
Two more arms caches were found on Friday, bringing the total to
five since Wednesday.
The new caches were located in Ferrals-les-Montagnes and Herault
in the south-east. Police said they contained a large amount of
explosives and munitions, without giving further details.
The discovery followed those of two other arms caches in southern
France on Thursday.
One of them, located in Camplong, held materials to make more than
100 bombs which could be attached to the underside of vehicles,
according to the daily El Pais.
The same kinds of attacks have killed three Spanish police
officers in the Basque region and Majorca this summer.
ETA had clearly been planning a long string of attacks, police
sources were quoted as saying.
The other cache located on Thursday, near Bordeaux, was almost
empty.
On Wednesday, a cache discovered in the Pyrenees was found to
contain 100 kilograms of explosives.
The discoveries followed the arrests of three ETA suspects,
including the group's alleged logistics chief Aitzol Etxaburu, in the
French Alps on Wednesday.
Basque police meanwhile removed pictures of imprisoned ETA members
from stands at a Bilbao fairground on Thursday, reporting 18 people
for praising terrorism, press reports said.
The Basque regional government prohibited a separatist
demonstration.
The regional authorities are trying to corner the entourage of ETA
since Patxi Lopez became the region's first clearly pro-Spanish prime
minister in May.
ETA has killed more than 820 people since 1968 in its campaign for
an independent Basque homeland. The group is regarded as a terrorist
organization by the European Union and the United States.
