Police yesterday arrested, during a routine check, two people for alleged links with ETA in a border crossing near Camprodon (Girona), when trying to cross into French territory with a Renault van owned by the father of one of them . The two suspected ETA members are Adur Aristegui Aragon, Jon Rosales Palenzuela, reported sources close to the investigations. In addition, the National Police and Civil Guard are searching for another suspected ETA member also in Catalunya.
