ETA's deputy political leader detained in France (1st Lead)

Madrid - French police Monday detained one of the suspected leaders of the militant Basque separatist group ETA, Spanish police sources said. Aitor Elizaran Aguilar, who was described as ETA's deputy political leader, was held in Carnac in the north-west. He was travelling in a stolen car with another ETA suspect, Oihana San Vicente, who was also detained. The two suspects were armed, police said. Elizaran Aguilar, who is a former activist of the pro-ETA youth group Segi, is believed to have joined the leadership of ETA - four of whose political or military leaders have been detained over the past 18 months. San Vicente, who is on Spain's most wanted terrorists' list, was also thought to be a member of ETA's political structure. The arrests were based on a joint investigation by French and Spanish police.
