France holds three 'Eta suspects'

French police have arrested three suspected Basque separatist militants in an Alpine ski resort, officials say, BBC reported.

The men were reportedly armed and had false identity papers. Police arrested them in a raid on an apartment in Le Corbier Villarambert on Wednesday.

One suspect, named as Machain Beraza, is thought to be linked to recent Eta bombings, including an attack in Majorca last month, Spanish media say.

Eta has been blamed for more than 820 deaths during its separatist campaign.
