German police arrest Red Army Faction suspect Daniela Klette
Daniela Klette, a member of the Red Army Faction (RAF) militant group in Germany, was arrested in Berlin on charges of armed robbery and attempted murder after being on the run for decades. The arrest followed a police appeal on a TV crime show that generated 250 tip-offs. Klette, 65, was part of the RAF’s third generation along with Burkhard Garweg and Ernst-Volker Staub. Ammunition was found in the apartment where Klette was detained. The RAF, founded by Andreas Baader and Ulrike Meinhof, was involved in murders and hostage-takings during the 1970s. The charges against Klette and her accomplices relate to crimes committed between 1999 and 2016, after the RAF had officially disbanded in 1998.
