Javier Lopez Pena, alias "Thierry", considered by Spanish authorities be the top political leader of ETA, was among the four people detained in the raid. The organisation is blamed for the deaths of over 820 people in its 40-year campaign for an independent Basque nation. According to Spanish media Thierry participated in the failed 2006 peace talks between the Spanish government and ETA, and was one of those who pushed for ending the ceasefire.
