Spain arrests 10 for suspected links to ETA - CNN.com: "Spanish police arrested 10 people early Tuesday for suspected links to the outlawed Basque separatist group ETA, just a week after the group's latest cease-fire announcement, an interior ministry statement said.
The Spanish government - wary of ETA's unilateral cease-fire because the armed militants have broken previous cease-fires - has said it would not cease police operations against the group blamed for 800 deaths in its long fight for Basque independence.
Nine of the pre-dawn arrests on Tuesday came in Navarra, the northern region with Basque roots whose capital is Pamplona, the statement said. The other arrest was in the nearby Basque province of Alava.
Eight men and two women were arrested. Six of the suspects are thought to be involved with Ekin, a shadowy group which Spain's National Court in 2007 ruled was 'part of the heart' of ETA and not a mere satellite."
