Eight arrested over suspected links to youth wing of ETA - Telegraph: "200 national police officers took part in raids in the northern Spanish cities of Bilbao, Pamplona and Vitoria resulting in the arrests of six suspected leaders of the banned youth organisation SEGI.
They also detained two lawyers from the same practice – one in the Canary Island of Lanzarote and the other in Aranjuez, a town south of Madrid – who investigators said had “advised jailed SEGI leaders on measures to impede the investigation and avoid prosecution.”
It is the third such operation against SEGI in little more than a year, the Interior ministry confirmed. SEGI was banned in 2007 for its role as a recruitment ground for future ETA members. It has been linked with low level street violence and vandalism against government buildings, banks and political party offices.
ETA, which is blamed for the deaths of 827 people in a four decade campaign for an independent Basque homeland encompassing parts of northeastern Spain and southwestern France, declared a ceasefire in September."
