ETA exlosives found in Alicante
By Hans Hamers | October 13, 2009
An ETA hide with 25 kilos of explosives material has been found in Alicante. Police say there was enough to make some 10 explosive devices of the type used by the Basque terrorists during their summer campaign.
The police say the hide had only been constructed this year and contained explosives of the type used in the recent attacks on Mallorca. It was found by a walker in the area known as Rincón del Olvido, in the La Serrella district of Confrides.
The find, and the attempted robbery of a van in Valencia, lead the police to consider the possibility that ETA has some sort of stable structure in the area.
Meanwhile possibly an alleged ETA activist has been arrested in Lescun, just over the border in southern France after he presented himself to a hospital with a gunshot wound in his hand. He claimed he was called Ibai Sueskun, and said the weapon had gone off when he was cleaning it. He was found however to be carrying false documentation, and police are still to confirm that he is a wanted ETA activist.
