Basque militants ETA surrender arms in end to decades of conflict

Basque militant group ETA passed a list with the location of its arms caches to French authorities Saturday, effectively ending an armed separatist campaign after almost half a century.


ETA, which killed more than 850 people in its attempt to carve out an independent state in northern Spain and southwest France, declared a ceasefire in 2011 but had not surrendered its remaining arms.
