A Spanish citizen has been arrested in Chile after officials said they found a large cache of explosives in his house, the Telam news outlet reported Friday.

The explosives matched material used in four bombings in the region in 2009, said Telam, the government-run news agency in neighboring Argentina. Chilean media reported the arrest, but the official state-run CAN news agency did not.

It’ll be interesting to see if that busy-body America-hating Spanish judge goes after his countryman.

Well, not if said countryman is a leftist. And it looks like he is:

Chilean media identified him as a 38-year-old Spaniard who arrived in the region in March. He worked as a writer and translator, La Tercera newspaper said. Bio-Bio Radio identified him as a Basque poet and writer.

I'd say he's ETA connected. They have a lot of connections in LatAm.

Also, exactly what was he translating? Spanish language news into "vascuence," or possibly into some other language he spoke? Very odd.
