PSNI hunt Basque terrorist
Thursday, 13 November 2008
A convicted Basque terrorist believed to have fled to Northern Ireland from Spain is tonight being hunted by PSNI officers.
Spanish authorities seeking 53-year-old Inaki de Juana Chaos have issued an European Arrest Warrant to the Police Service of Northern Ireland.
The ETA member is wanted on suspicion of praising or supporting terrorism in a letter that was read out in his name at a rally in Spain.
In the text he allegedly called on Basque separatists to continue the armed struggle.
He was released from prison earlier this year after being jailed for his involvement in a bombing campaign in Spain that claimed 25 lives during the 1980s.
It is understood de Chaos is due to present himself before a court in Belfast on Monday.
Belfast lawyer Kevin Winters said he would be representing him in the extradition hearing.
A spokeswoman for the PSNI confirmed a warrant had been received and officers were looking for de Chaos.

He sounds like a terrorist from an Austin Powers film. Mr. Chaos.
