Ten arrested for pro-ETA violence
Spanish officials say they have arrested 10 people on suspicion of engaging in street violence in support of the armed Basque separatist group ETA. The Interior Ministry says the 10 are accused of throwing Molotov cocktails at a police station, setting fires and carrying out other attacks in the Basque region since 2005. The ministry says in a statement issued Friday that the suspects range in age from 20 to 27. The statement comes a day after a bombing blamed on ETA injured seven policemen in Bilbao. After peace talks failed, ETA ended a cease-fire with a bombing that killed two people in Madrid in December 2006. It has waged more than a dozen attacks since then and killed three more people. |
