Portuguese police detain Venezuela-bound ETA suspect: reports Portuguese police have arrested a suspected member of the Basque separatist group ETA in Lisbon as he tried to board a flight to the Venezuelan capital Caracas, Spanish media reported Friday. Andoni Zengotitabengoa, 30, was detained at Lisbon airport after he presented a Mexican passport which turned out to be false, the online edition of daily Spanish newspaper El Mundo reported. He had been on the run since police last month found hundreds of kilogrammes of explosives at a house in Casal da Avarela, near the central Portuguese city of Obidos, which he occupied with another suspected ETA member who is still on the loose. His arrest comes less than two weeks after Spanish High Court judge Eloy Velasco accused Venezuela's leftist government of providing support for ETA, which has Marxist origins, and left-wing Colombian rebel group FARC. Velasco charged 13 ETA and FARC members with plotting to kill Colombian politicians in Spain, including President Alvaro Uribe, with Venezuelan "governmental cooperation." This move prompted tension between Madrid and Caracas, and led to the two governments issuing a joint statement stressing their ties in the fight against terrorism. Velasco based his case largely on information found in the computer of Raul Reyes, the FARC's former number two who was killed in Ecuador in March 2008 in a Colombian military operation. But the Venezuelan government argues the e-mails found in Reyes' computer may have been manipulated by the Colombian authorities. ETA, regarded as a terrorist group by both the European Union and the United States, is blamed for 828 deaths in its 41-year campaign for independence for the Basque region of northern Spain and southwestern France. Spanish Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero's socialist government has adopted a hard line against ETA since the group officially called off a 15-month-old ceasefire in June 2007. Since the end of the ceasefire, police have arrested over 450 suspected members of ETA or supporters of the group who stage acts of urban violence known as "kale borroka" in the Basque language, Zapatero said during an interview with Spanish public television TVE on Monday.
