Ignacio Gracia Arregui, wanted on four international arrest warrants, was captured with a female companion and child Friday in an operation by French and Spanish authorities, backed by French anti-terrorist police. He is suspected of masterminding a failed assassination attempt against Spain’s King Juan Carlos in 1995.
