Three Eta suspects arrested in France

Three suspected members of the violent Basque separatist group Eta were arrested in France on the 19 August 2009, in the latest sign of success for joint French-Spanish anti-terrorism operations.

However, Spain's Interior Minister Alfredo Rubalcaba warned that the Eta was still dangerous, despite the series of arrests and seizures of weapons caches.
