Spain dismisses Basque separatist group's truce
None
Spain's interior minister has dismissed a cease-fire announcement by the Basque separatist group ETA and says police will be as tough as ever against the armed militants.
Alfredo Perez Rubalcaba says ETA's statement on Sunday falls short of what Basque society and other Spaniards demand from the militant group, which is that it renounce violence for good. The minister told Spanish National Television Monday he is convinced ETA will continue with other illegal activities like trying to amass weapons. (AP)
