Thanks MARINO. The reason I asked was because NPR (Nacional Public Radio) reported on the defacto Basque government and I assumed those policemen and their peculiar red/black uniforms to be regional officers of that Basqe government. The report (http://www.npr.org/features/feature.php?wfId=1432623) told how PM Aznar was managing with national autonomy efforts in Basque regions, Galicia's unhappiness with the government's handling of the oil spill that still washes ashore and Catalonian displeasure with Madrid's centralized governing.

They are from federal police of spanish Basque Country.But they are controlled by the governement of Basque country who is a separatist governement, so normally terrorists are captured by Guardia Civil.

Nope, they are not federal police, they are the Ertzaina which is the local basque police. They would be the equivalent of the state troopers in the US.

This view of Hurricane Isabel was taken by one of the Expedition 7 crewmembers onboard the International Space Station (ISS), September 13, 2003. At the time this photo was taken, Isabel had reformed to a Category 5 storm, packing winds of 160 miles per hour. Isabel weakened on September 16 but thousands of people on the North Carolina coast were urged to evacuate their homes as the storm threatened a large swath of the heavily populated U.S. eastern seaboard. The hurricane was still hundreds of miles out in the Atlantic Ocean but moving steadily on a path that would bring it ashore on Thursday on North Carolina's fragile Outer Banks, then north through Virginia.
