PSNI - Man arrested

A man wanted by Spanish authorities to face terrorism charges, including murder, is due before a Belfast court tomorrow.

The 40-year-old was initially arrested on Thursday as part of a joint operation involving police in Northern Ireland and Spain.

He was later released but subsequently re-arrested on foot of a European Arrest Warrant.

The man is a suspected member of the Basque separatist group ETA.

He is wanted in Spain in connection with several attacks, including a 2001 car bombing which killed a senior army officer and a policeman.
