The ETA terrorist Andoni Zengotitabengoa has been arrested in Lisbon, when reportedly fleeing to Venezuela. He is one of the terrorists who managed to escape in Portugal last February when the authorities there found a flat containing a large amount of explosives to the north of the Portuguese capital. His presence in the flat was confirmed after he was caught on the closed circuit TV cameras of a local hardware store where he went to buy some screws. He is reported to have been carrying false documentation on his arrest at the airport.

Meanwhile the body of another ETA activist, Jon Anza, has been found in the morgue in Toulouse, France. He has been missing since April 18th last year, and according to ETA sources had a date to meet with the terrorist chiefs but failed to appear. His family reported him missing last May. He is thought to have died from a heart condition, although also is reported to have had a brain tumour.
