Madrid - Two suspected senior members of Basque separatist guerrilla group ETA were arrested in south-west France at the weekend in a fresh police clampdown on the armed rebels, Spanish officials said yesterday.
Mr Bixente Goikoetchea-Barrandarian, named by Spain's Interior Ministry as the number two political figure in the group, was arrested on Saturday in a village in the PyrenΘes-Atlantique region with a woman also suspected of ETA membership.
