Madrid - Die baskische Regionalpolizei hat fünf mutmaßliche ETA-Mitglieder verhaftet. Drei von ihnen wurden nach Polizeiangaben vom Dienstag in der baskischen Ortschaft Ondarroa festgenommen, wo bei einem Autobombenanschlag am 21. September 2008 zehn Menschen verletzt wurden. Die Ermittlungen gegen die jetzt verhafteten Personen stehen nach Behördenangaben in Zusammenhang mit diesem Anschlag. Wegen Mitgliedschaft oder anderer Verbindungen zur ETA sind zur Zeit rund 750 Personen in Spanien oder Frankreich inhaftiert. (apn/jW)
Jailed members of the Basque separatist group ETA say they are launching a hunger strike to protest Spain's policy of keeping them separated from each other. The so-called Basque Political Prisoners Group announced the strike in a letter sent to Gara, a pro-independence Basque newspaper. They said it started Monday. Around 750 people are serving time in Spanish or French jails over their membership in or links to ETA. Spain's long-standing policy is to keep ETA prisoners spread out in jails around the country as a way to keep them from plotting behind bars. Interior Minister Alfredo Perez Rubalcaba said Monday the government would not change its policy. ETA has killed more than 825 people since launching its campaign for an independent Basque homeland in the 1960s.
