- <p> His face obscured by a helmet, a dark figure climbed off his
- motorcycle and strode toward a house in a village outside
- Bayonne in southwest France. Before he reached the door,
- gunfire erupted, and within minutes French authorities captured
- the notorious leader of the Basque hard-liners, Jose Antonio
- Urrutikoetxea (alias: Josu Ternera), 38. The arrest last week of
- the ETA (Basque Homeland and Liberty) terrorist was hailed as
- a major breakthrough in a three-year Franco-Spanish offensive
- against Basque extremists fighting for independence in Spain.
- </p>
- <p> Josu Ternera is thought to have been responsible for the
- assassination of the Spanish Prime Minister in 1973. Police
- believe the arrests will seriously curtail the terrorist
- activities of ETA.
