Alleged ETA Weapons Workshop Found
French police raided a building in the Pyrenees mountains that Spain called a major arms factory for the Basque separatist group ETA.
The raid in St. Michel, close to the border with Spain, follows the capture Friday of three key ETA members in southwestern France, including its logistics chief and a former leader of the group.
The workshop to make bombs and rocket launchers was located in an outbuilding of a house. Spanish Interior Minister Angel Acebes described the arms cache as “one of ETA’s biggest.” Two people were arrested.
