Four ETA members have been arrested in France, including Alejandro Zobaran Arriola, described as the new military chief of the Basque separatist organisation.
The four suspects were detained in Willencourt, near the Belgian border, late on Thursday. Firearms and documents were also seized by police.
Alejandro Zobaran Arriola, also known as ‘Xaria’, is Eta’s sixth military chief to be detained since Francisco Javier Lopez Pena was arrested in May 2008.
