Germany (catch all, incl. terrorism)

An interesting report, although probably familiar to Germans. 'German neo-Nazi trial gives insight into secret life of Beate Zschpe', sub-titled:

To her neighbours in the quiet German town of Zwickau, she was the "friendly, sociable and generous" young woman who liked to drop by for a glass of prosecco. To her comrades on the German far Right, she was a smart, assertive and violent member of their secret terrorist militia.

The group of neo-nazis responsible for racially motivated murders across Germany has appeared here before, last post is above, and then dropped out of sight. The BBC has two short reports and so I learmt:

Beate Zschaepe has been on trial for more than two years.

A statement by Gerry Adams about the Provisional IRA IRRC, but this time applies to Germany:

Three fugitive members of a notorious communist terror cell who have been on the run for 18 years have been traced to the scene of a botched armed robbery. Police believe three people who held up a security van last summer are former members of the far-left Red Army Faction (RAF), also known as the Baader-Meinhof gang...The terror group disbanded in 1998...

In the latest incident, the security van was held up in broad daylight by masked gunmen armed with an automatic rifle and an anti-tank rocket launcher.
