Separatist group ETA's 'most wanted' Josu Ternera arrested in France |
2019-05-16 |
Ternera, 69, also known as Jose Antonio Urrutikoetxea, was ETA’s "most wanted" leader on both side of the Pyrenees, Spain’s interior ministry said in a statement. Ternera had been a fugitive since 2002 when, while he was serving as a lawmaker in the Basque regional parliament, Spain’s supreme court issued an international arrest warrant against him over his alleged involvement in the 1987 attack. He was detained in a joint Franco-Spanish operation in the alpine Haute Savoie region near France’s border with Switzerland and Italy. ETA, whose dissolution Ternera announced last year, bombed a police barracks in the city of Zaragoza in December 1987, killing 11 people including six children. |

#3 Regional pie-hats. My Basque grandmother's last name was Etchegoin. My granddaughters call me Patxi, which is Basque for Frank. The language is unlike any others |

#2 Did he get the hat from the Mehsuds, or the other way around? |
