Alleged ETA members subpoenaed about terrorist links
Two ETA members residing in Venezuela and Cuba, who have been investigated for the alleged collaboration between the Basque terrorist group ETA (Basque Homeland and Freedom), the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, a rebel group; and the Venezuelan government were subpoenaed by a Spanish court.
Good luck grabbing them, letting alone getting them to testify. Though if we had a CIA worth anything, both mooks would show up on the steps, bound and gagged, of Judge Garzon's courtroom one fine morning in Madrid ... | In a four-page indictment, Judge Eloy Velasco, of the Spanish National Court, subpoenaed alleged ETA member Arturo Cubillas, head of security at the National Lands Institute (INTI), and José Ángel Urtiaga, who is living in Cuba, after they disclosed their respective addresses in Caracas and Havana, AP reported.
Cubillas and Urtiaga submitted this week two powers of attorney for lawsuits in which they appointed Jone Goirizelaia as their attorney in Spain. Goirizelaia is the usual lawyer of ETA prisoners. In the document, Cubillas and Urtiaga, who are theoretically at large because there is an arrest warrant against them, gave their addresses.
Meanwhile, Gustavo de Aristegui, a spokesman of the People's Party in the Committee of Foreign Affairs in the Congress of Deputies, asked the new Spanish Foreign Minister Trinidad Jiménez to change the Spanish foreign policy with regard to Venezuela.
