Police found two caches of bomb-making equipment thought to belong to militant Basque separatist group ETA on Friday, regional police said.The two dumps were uncovered close to the site of a cache found on Thursday on a mountainside near the northern Spanish town of Ondarroa, which contained explosives and other bomb-making materials.The finds came following the arrest on Tuesday and Thursday of seven suspected ETA members.Police believe the group were behind a series of attacks including a car bomb blast at the Ondarroa police station in September, which injured around a dozen people.Officers also seized drugs and weapons in the course of the operation.Spanish media reported that packets of cocaine ready for sale were found, along with equipment for weighing the drug.ETA is listed as a terrorist organisation by the European Union and the United States and is held responsible for 828 deaths in an armed struggle for Basque independence that has lasted more than 40 years.
