According to police, most of the detainees are soldiers believed to belong to a faction of the far-right Flemish group Blood and Honour. Raids on army barracks and homes found weapons including a homemade bomb, rifles and land-mine detonators. The federal prosecutor's office described the suspects as people "who clearly express themselves through racism, xenophobia, Holocaust denial, anti-Semitism and neo-Nazism...

No matter, says Casta?o: "There's a pasture on the other side of the hill, he can land there in a small plane." We called Ramo in Cartagena.
