Officers with the Bolivarian Intelligence Service (Sebin) arrested on Sunday an ETA leader at the Maiquetia International Airport, as he intended to enter Venezuela from Mexico.

Marino Alvarado, coordinator of the Venezuelan Program on Education-Action in Human Rights (Provide), stated that the detainee's name is Walter Wendelin and is considered the representative of Batasuna, the political arm of the Basque terrorist organization ETA, for South America.

Wendelin, of German origin, is in the headquarters of the Sebin in Caracas.

In December last year, in a press release, the Ministry of Information and Communication (Minci) reported that Walter Wendelin took part in an international forum on "Imperialist threats and people's resistance, moving forward towards the construction of an anti-empire front," at the Museum of Contemporary Arts, downtown Caracas.
