Spanish police detain three ETA suspects, seize explosives

San Sebastian, Spain - Spanish police Tuesday detained three suspected members of the militant Basque separatist group ETA, seizing 70 kilogrammes of explosives, media reports quoted police sources as saying. Spanish National Radio said the three were waiting for orders to carry out attacks. At least two of the arrests were made in the Basque locality of Usurbil, where the suspects - a man and a woman - lived in an industrial warehouse, according to police sources. The two were believed to have committed attacks against the construction of a high-speed railway in the Basque region. They appeared to have links with Jurdan Martitegi, ETA's military leader, who was captured in France in April, police said. The arrests followed a bombing which killed police officer Eduardo Puelles in the Basque region last week. However, the detainees did not appear to have been involved with the killing, reports said. Tens of thousands of people demonstrated Saturday against the killing of Puelles, the first by ETA this year.
