Mikel Karrerra Sarobe was on a Spanish police most-wanted list


The suspected military leader of the armed Basque separatist group Eta has been arrested, French police say.

Four suspected members were held during dawn raids, including the man thought to be Eta＇s current military chief, Mikel Kabikoitz Karrera Sarobe.

Reports say three were picked up in the southern town of Bayonne and the fourth in a nearby village.

The group has used France as a base and five Eta leaders have been arrested there in the past two years.

Mikel Karrera Sarobe, a Spanish national also known as Ata, is thought to have taken over the key role in the organisation after the arrest of his predecessor Ibon Gogeascoechea in February.

He was detained with another man and a woman at a flat in Bayonne. The fourth suspect was arrested near the coastal town of St Jean de Luz in the French Basque country.

In March this year, the group was suspected of the murder of Jean-Serge Nerin, the first French policeman thought to have been killed by Eta. Officers suspect Mikel Karrera Sarobe may have been involved in the shoot-out in Paris.

In response, France＇s President Nicolas Sarkozy said the country would rid itself of Eta bases.

Eta has been blamed for more than 820 deaths during its 41-year campaign in Spain. The group wants an independent Basque homeland.

It called a truce in March 2006, but it was broken by December of that year.
