TERRORISTS belonging to the Basque separatist cell ETA reclaimed their weapons as soon as the cameras stopped rolling on a recent video published exclusively by the BBC showing them handing over their arms to the International Verification Commission (CIV).
They merely showed the guns and explosives to the CIV representatives Ronnie Kasrils, Chris MacCabe and Ram Manikkalingam, produced an itinerary and collected them up before leaving with them, according to the CIV.
The three men from the CIV said they received an anonymous letter asking them to attend a flat in an undisclosed location in Toulouse, south-western France, and the two of them who attended were met at the station in the city by a man with a cap and glasses waiting in a car.
This man, pictured above left, has not been identified.
He took them into the underground car park of the block of flats and accompanied them upstairs in the lift, where the CIV members were met with the scenario shown on the BBC video – a table covered in a white cloth bearing the ETA symbol, a snake winding round an axe, and various weapons.
Two ETA members with their faces covered in balaclavas provided a list of the arms present, signed by three of them declaring that the weapons were now 'out of use'.
