ETA leader Mikel Irastorza has been arrested in a joint Spanish-French operation. The Basque separatist group’s ranks have been diminished by arrests despite a ceasefire.
A security operation conducted by French and Spanish authorities led to the arrest of the leader of the Basque militant group ETA on Saturday, Spain’s Interior Ministry said.
The ministry described Mikel Irastorza as “currently the most senior leader of the terrorist group ETA still at large.” He was arrested in a house in the southwestern French village of Ascain, near the Pyrenees Mountains.
