French police arrested a presumed member of the armed Basque group ETA in Oloron-Sainte-Marie on Wednesday, believed to be part of Eta's "logistical-military apparatus".

According to Spain's police sources, Juan María Múgica Dorronsoro was arrested as part of new joint operation between Spanish and French forces to crack down on the group.

Mugica Dorronsoro is accused of being part of Eta's "logistical-military apparatus" that supplies the group's militants with explosives and weapons. He is believed to have supplied a Russian missile that the armed group was planning to use in an attack on a plane carrying Spanish PM Jose Maria Aznar in 2001.
