| Maoist terrorists, two more ETA ’commandos’ captured |
| 2004-02-11 |
| Spanish police arrested Wednesday three suspected members of the violent anti-capitalist organisation GRAPO in two raids in the Basque region, authorities reported. Officers detained before dawn in the province of Vizcaya a man and a woman believed to be members of GRAPO, a Spanish-language acronym for "October 1st Anti-Fascist Resistance Groups." The two were named as Jon Kepa Preciado and Jon González González. Security sources said Preciado had taken part in at least five terrorist attacks between June and July last year. He’s been a busy boy. Authorities also arrested early Wednesday a third person, identified by the initials F.C.B., for alleged ties to the group. The arrest was made at the home of the third person in the Basque city of Vitoria, where police seized "many documents." Another intel haul, excellent. The Maoist group is blamed for the killing of more than 80 people in Spain and for numerous extortions, robberies and kidnappings. Meanwhile, French police arrested Wednesday two more suspected members of ETA. Already reported, it’s been a productive year for the good guys. |
