Spain''s interior minister says three suspected members of ETA who were captured in France were wanted for violent acts within Spain and had been on the run from police for months.

Minister Alfredo Perez Rubalcaba named the suspects as Itziar Plaza, Iurgi Garitagoitia and Asier Borrero. All three were arrested Saturday in a joint French-Spanish police operation near the southwestern French city of Pau and were armed with Smith &' || 'amp; Wesson revolvers when they were captured.

Rubalcaba said Borrero had been active within ETA for four years, Plaza had belonged to the group for six years and there was evidence that Garitagoitia is linked to the murders of two Spaniards.

Rubalcaba said Sunday "their destiny is jail".
