Spanish police capture over a ton of Bomb making material in two raids on ETA
Spanish police combating the armed Basque separatist group ETA have displayed a cache of 1.6 metric tons (1.8 tons) of bomb-making material seized in two raids earlier this week.
Apart from chemical compounds used in making explosives, the exhibit included detonators, a handgun and fuel canisters.
The seizures were made in a series of hideouts in the northern Basque region and adjacent Navarra using information provided by an ETA suspect arrested Tuesday.
The display was arranged in secure premises within a Civil Guard barracks in the northern seaside city of San Sebastian on Saturday.
Two suspects were being held in connection with the seizures on suspicious of belonging to a terror organization, a national court judge said. Spain, France, the EU and the U.S. consider ETA a terror group.
