MADRID -- Separatist militants would not pose a threat to the 2016 Olympics if Madrid wins the bid for the games, Spain's Interior Minister said Friday.
Alfredo Perez Rubalcaba told the 13-member IOC evaluation team -- which is wrapping up a five-day visit to the capital -- that security forces had considerable experience in protecting international sporting events in Spain.
"We won't need to worry about (Basque separatist group) ETA in 2016," Rubalcaba said.
