Despite the currently reported weakened state of the Basque terrorist group ETA, anti-terrorism officers are now investigating if they have managed to re-group their international contacts, and are interested in a possible link to the FARC guerrillas in Colombia.

It’s thought that international lines of financing could have been re-established as conditions at home have become more complicated.

El Mundo newspaper reports that police in Venezuela say they are investigating links between ETA and the FARC and think joint training sessions with arms and explosives have been taking place in the forest.

It seems that members of Non-Governmental Organisations working in the area have alerted the government to the presence of the ETA activists.
