Basque group ETA vows to put arsenal 'out of use': statement

The Basque group ETA announced Saturday it would put its arsenal of weapons “under seal” and “out of operational use”, in a move towards a historic disarmament by western Europe’s last major violent separatist movement.

In a statement published in the Basque newspaper Gara, dated February 24, the ETA confirmed an earlier announcement by international monitors that the group had begun giving up its arms.
