Madrid - Cuba has expelled a group of Spanish secret service agents who
had come to investigate activities of members of the militant Basque
separatist group ETA on the Caribbean island, the Madrid daily El Mundo
reported Thursday. The agents were ordered to leave by Friday because
they had not informed the Cuban authorities of their arrival a few days
earlier, the daily quoted sources close to Spanish intelligence services
as saying.
Cuba has taken in ETA members on the basis of deportation agreements
with Spain, but there have also been reports on the alleged non-official
presence of ETA activists over the years.
Spain is concerned that the separatists could continue lending ETA
financial or logistical support.
Cuba's former leader Fidel Castro estimated the number of ETA members on
the island at half a dozen, but the real figure could surpass 20,
according to the daily.
