'Eta bomb-making cache' found in Portugal

Portuguese police have seized half a tonne of explosives at a house that they say was being used as a base by Basque separatist group Eta.

The discovery, which also included bomb-making equipment, was made in the central Portugal town of Obidos.

Fake licence plates, detonators and maps were also found, officials said.

A militant group fighting for an independent Basque homeland, Eta has been blamed for more than 820 deaths during its campaign in Spain.
