Will he wait until the civil rights activists start shelling Madrid and cutting off the water supply to Barcelona before he recognizes the need to call in Javier Solana and George Robertson, who will broker a deal with the ETA to grant them amnesty and bring them into the government, the government of a nation that - Brussels insists - reconfigure its constitution and introduce the Basque language as co-equal to the dominant Spanish one? What do Human Rights Watch, the International Crisis Group and International War and Peace Reporting have to say about this unspeakable act of ethnocide, the worst since Hitler?] June 14, 2001 Suspected Members of ETA Arrested MADRID, Spain (AP) -- Police arrested seven suspected members of the armed separatist group ETA on Thursday and confiscated dynamite and bomb-making equipment in raids in the Basque region. More than 100 police and members of an elite commando force began the raids at 2:30 a.m. on apartments in the towns of Mondragon and Aramayona, officials said. Police confiscated 80 pounds of dynamite along with bomb-making equipment such as detonators, timers and fuses. The dynamite confiscated was ''enough to blow up a building with no problem whatsoever,'' Interior Minister Mariano Rajoy said. Documents seized included a map of the northern city of Logrono and markings on the spot where a car bomb blamed on ETA exploded Sunday. No one was hurt, but the explosion caused extensive damage to buildings and cars. Three of those detained are brothers, Rajoy said. State radio said another is a woman lawyer. ETA has claimed or been blamed for 31 killings since it ended a cease-fire in December 1999 after 14 months. The group has killed about 800 people since its campaign for an independent Basque homeland began in 1968. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
