.The leader of armed Basque separatists ETA was caught on Sunday in northern France, the Spanish Interior Ministry said, in what was the latest blow to a group weakened by hundreds of arrests.
Ibon Gogeascoechea, on the run since 1997, was caught along with two other senior ETA rebels in a joint Spanish-French raid close to the small town of Cahan in Normandy, the ministry said. .
Much of the improvement has been due to better coordination between authorities in Spain and France, which ETA has long used as a hideout.
Security forces believe ETA, which wants independence for the Basque Country and has killed more than 850 people, has been severely weakened by hundreds of arrests in recent years.
But Batasuna has lost influence over the rebels since the collapse of peace talks with the Spanish government following a bomb attack on Madrid airport in 2006 which killed two people.
A leading member of the group’s political wing Batasuna last week called on ETA to continue its struggle by peaceful means.
The 54-year-old Gogeascoechea and his accomplices were caught in a car with false licence plates after arousing suspicion by renting a rural house using fake identities, the Interior Ministry said.

.Visionary film director Tim Burton says his selection to head the jury at this year’s Cannes film festival is “a dream come true”.
“After spending my early life watching triple features and 48-hour horror-movie marathons, I’m finally ready for this,” he said in a statement.
Burton, 51, has created some of the darkest and most evocative movies in cinematic history, including Beetlejuice, Edward Scissorhands and Planet of the Apes.
The other eight members of the jury, who decide on the winner of the Palme d’Or for best film, will be announced in April, as will the movies selected to contend for the coveted prize. .
“He’s a magician,” said festival president Gilles Jacob, hailing Burton’s talent for bringing to life hauntingly beautiful filmscapes and edgy characters.
Warner hired him for the first Batman in 1989, which enabled him to move on to more personal projects, including Edward Scissorhands the following year and Nightmare before Christmas, which he produced.
Born Timothy Walter Burton, the first of his 14 feature films was Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure in 1985, but it was Beetlejuice in 1988 that threw the doors of Hollywood wide open.
His next feature, a 3D adaptation of Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland, starring his emblematic actor Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter, will be released in theatres in March.
Burton is also an illustrator, painter and photographer, and New York’s Museum of Modern Art currently features an exhibition of his work.

.The niece of a British government minister is set to face court accused of the murder of a young Frenchman whose throat was slit after she brought him to her home.
Jessica Davies contacted police in the early hours of a Sunday morning in November 2007 to say she had stabbed 24-year-old Olivier Mugnier at her apartment, in the Saint-Germain-en-Laye suburb west of Paris.
Police found stab wounds on the young man’s body, some of them on his throat.
Police said the now 30-year-old niece of Britain’s junior defence minister Quentin Davies was four times over the drink-drive alcohol limit and could barely stand or speak when they arrested her.
Legal sources said psychiatrists who had examined Davies found she suffered from psychological problems and had a “borderline” personality and that responsibility at the time of the crime was “altered”. His death was caused by a knife blow to the chest, police said.
The trial by jury in a court in Versailles is expected to last two days, with a verdict on Tuesday.
Davies, who is being held in Versailles women’s prison, claimed to remember nothing of the stabbing except that she had met Mr Mugnier in an Irish pub near her flat a few hours before his death.
The British press speculated after her arrest that Mr Mugnier’s death was the result of a sex game that turned to violence.
Davies faces a maximum sentence of 30 years in prison if convicted of voluntary homicide without premeditation.
The papers said French police have probed whether Davies was inspired by that murder, for which US student Amanda Knox was handed a 26-year prison term last month and for which her Italian boyfriend also got 26 years in jail.
British papers drew parallels with a high-profile sex game murder in Italy, just a few days earlier.

.Hopes for a new global climate pact have risen after rich nations at the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM) in Trinidad and Tobago offered to help poorer countries bear the costs of implementing any deal.
Commonwealth countries are home to two billion people, or a third of the planet’s population – including major global players like Britain and India, and smaller island states like Nauru and the Maldives.
The United Nations secretary-general Ban Ki-moon, French President Nicolas Sarkozy and Danish Prime Minister Loekke Rasmussen joined 53 Commonwealth leaders to work on the issue of climate change ahead of next month’s conference in Copenhagen.
He and Danish Prime Minister Lars Loekke Rasmussen praised a move by Britain and France to launch a multi-billion-dollar fund for developing nations.
“Success in Copenhagen is in sight,” UN chief Ban Ki-moon told the summit.
But he stressed the deal to be hammered out by some 87 leaders including US President Barack Obama must include “commitments, numbers and precise language”.
Mr Rasmussen said it was now “realistic” to expect Copenhagen to result in the framework for a treaty to succeed the Kyoto Protocol which expires in 2012.
Mr Ban, who has led the push towards Copenhagen, agreed it must not become just another talking shop, saying, “We will come out with a very concrete foundation for a legally binding treaty.
“The Commonwealth can be proud of the fact that in each of its six decades it has shaped the international response to emerging global challenges,” she told the gathered leaders.”
The need to address a changing climate was a point reinforced by Queen Elizabeth at this morning’s opening ceremony. .
“And on this, the eve of the UN Copenhagen summit on climate change, the Commonwealth has an opportunity to lead once more.
– Canada singled out –
Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper faced growing international pressure to take action, with some activists even calling for Canada to be suspended from the Commonwealth.
“The threat to our environment is not a new concern but it is now a global challenge which will continue to affect the security and stability of millions for years to come,” she said.
Mr Ban singled out Canada at the Commonwealth summit, saying Ottawa should act as soon as possible to create an ambitious target to cut greenhouse gas emissions.
Mr Ban singled out Canada at the Commonwealth summit, saying Ottawa should act as soon as possible to create an ambitious target to cut greenhouse gas emissions.
Mr Harper has now reversed his earlier position and says he will attend the climate talks in Copenhagen.
The International Energy Agency ranks Canada alongside Australia in the world’s top 5 per cent of polluters, per capita, yet Ottawa still has no policy to combat climate change.
The two European leaders proposed to compensate developing countries for the economic disadvantages they would face in cutting carbon emissions.
– Momentum builds –
Much of the new momentum for a climate deal stemmed from a joint overture by British Prime Minister Gordon Brown and Mr Sarkozy.
For the first time, India’s Prime Minister Manmohan Singh said he was willing to commit his country to ambitious global carbon emission cuts, provided others shared the burden.
“Poorer countries must have an understanding that the richer countries will help them adapt to climate change and make the necessary adjustments in their economies,” Mr Brown said on his website.
“Australia is of the view that such a fast-start fund can assist in bringing about a good outcome at Copenhagen, but most critically, assist those most vulnerable states dealing with adaptation challenges now,” he said.
Prime Minister Kevin Rudd also welcomed what he called “a fast-start fund”.
