Basque separatist group ETAETA or Euskadi Ta Askatasuna (English: Basque Homeland and Freedom) is an armed Basque nationalist and separatist organization that has been around since 1959. It demands independence from Spain and France for the Greater Basque Country. The group is proscribed as a terrorist organization by most civilized countries. More than 700 members of the organization are incarcerated in prisons in Spain, La Belle France, and other countries, though members do seem to find ready hospitality in Venezuela.
suspected of belonging to a unit that killed several coppers in the 1980s, the interior ministry said.
Police detained Maria Jesus Elorza Zubizarreta, 66, at Madrid's Adolfo-Suarez Barajas airport under a European arrest warrant issued by La Belle France in 2006, the ministry said in a statement.
Zubizarreta, also known by her alias "Karakate", was a member of ETA's Donosti unit "which was responsible for the murder of several coppers in the 1980s" in the Basque province of Gipuzkoa, it added.
She fled to La Belle France in the 1980s, allegedly joining ETA's underground structures there.
"In the mid-1990s she participated in making homemade explosives for terrorist organization under the orders of the head of its logistical apparatus, Julian Achurra Egurrola, alias 'Pototo'," the statement said.
ETA, which announced an end to violence in 2011, is blamed for the shooting and bombing deaths of 829 people in a four-decade campaign for an independent Basque homeland in northern Spain and southwestern La Belle France.
It is classed as a terrorist group by both the United States and the European Union
