Updated: 2008-07-23 07:30 9 ETA suspects arrested Spanish police yesterday arrested nine suspected members of Basque separatist group ETA, dismantling its most active cell blamed for a string of bomb attacks and killing a civil guard, the interior minister said. Paramilitary police broke into the apartment of suspected cell leader Arkaitz Goikoetxea, 28, early yesterday in the northern city of Bilbao, seizing two handguns and false documents, Interior Minister Alfredo Rubalcaba said. Goikoetxea was one of the most wanted men in Spain. The eight others arrested, most in their early twenties, had no criminal record and were working secretly for ETA while leading apparently normal lives, Rubalcaba said.
