Basque separatists ETA says will disarm

Basque separatist group ETA reportedly says it will fully disarm on April 8 after the Basque parliament asked it to disarm as soon as possible, the BBC reported, citing a letter from ETA.

The BBC has cited a letter from the ETA saying its members will hand over their weapons on Saturday, but added that "the enemies of peace" might block the process.

ETA declared the end of its 40-year bid to establish an independent Basque state in northern Spain and southern France in 2011 but has handed over only part of its weapons cache to authorities.
