The Spanish government says armed separatist group ETA’s military commander has been arrested in France.

French police arrested Alejandro Zobaran Arriola along with three other suspected ETA members including logistical chief Mikel Oroz Torrea, the Spanish interior ministry said in a statement.

The four suspects, whose identities had been confirmed by their fingerprints, were arrested late in the north eastern French town of Willencourt, the Spanish ministry said.
