Supposed 'ETA terrorists' are just holidaymakers:report
March 20, 2010
A 52-year-old French police officer was fatally wounded during a gun battle near Dammarie-Les-Lys on Tuesday
Five people identified as ETA suspects in a surveillance video released in France and Spain are in fact firemen from Spain's Catalonia region who were on holiday, Spanish media said Saturday.
France and Spain on Friday released images from closed-circuit television cameras of five people Spanish police said were suspected members of the Basque separatist organisation involved in the killing of a French policeman near Paris this week.
But the government in the northeastern region of Catalonia said the five were in fact Catalan firemen who were on a climbing holiday in France, Spanish national radio reported.
The Catalan fire service had received calls from the family and friends of the five firefighters who had recognised them from the video, the Europa Press news agency reported.
The images show five young men at the entrance to a supermarket in the town of Dammarie-les-Lys, southeast of Paris, one of them pushing a trolley.
A Spanish police statement on Friday had described them as "ETA terrorists" and called for "cooperation from the public to identify them and find them."
A 52-year-old French police officer was fatally wounded during a gun battle that erupted after a routine police check near Dammarie-Les-Lys on Tuesday.

I believe it's a bad deed of some persons which doesn't represent the whole society. The same case in Indonesia. Torturing animal is a sin .
