Eta suspects arrested in Spain

Three suspected members of the armed Basque separatist group, Eta, were arrested by police in northern Spain today, authorities said.

Basque police arrested the three men in Urkiola in the northern Basque region, police spokesman Juan Jose Esteban said. Two of them, who were carrying pistols, had been sought by authorities since September 2003 in connection with an ambush in which two police officers were wounded, he said.
