The arrest of Mikel Antza and his companion Soledad Iparraguirre brings to an end an exhaustive manhunt lasting several years. The pair headed the 'wanted' list of authorities on both sides of border. Antza, the son of a prominent ETA member, has not been formally accused of involvement in any specific crime of violence. But he is alleged to have orchestrated the attacks of ETA cells and helped other members of the group escape from jail. The 43-year-old became ETA chief in 1992 after a crackdown on the then leadership. Sources say Antza was opposed to the ending of the group's 14 month ceasefire which was declared in December 1998. But after the failure of negotiations with the government ETA returned to the bomb and the bullet with a vengeance. Iparraguirre, also known as "Anboto", is suspected of being at the forefront of the onslaught against the Spanish state. It is claimed she was involved in actions which caused the death of around twenty people. The 43-year-old was said to have taken a more political role in the organisation from 1993 but remained an implacable separatist **PHOTO CAPTION*** French anti-terrorist judge Laurence Le Vert, second right, escorted by policemen and bodyguards, arrives at the house of Spanish truck driver Pedro Maria Alacantaria-Mozota in Urrugne, southwestern France, Sunday, Oct. 3, 2004.
