RAF terrorist detained in Berlin after 30-year manhunt
German police have announced the arrest of 65-year-old Daniela Klette, an activist affiliated with the far-left terrorist group Red Army Faction (RAF), who had been wanted for over three decades.
Klette was apprehended in the Kreuzberg quarter of Berlin, in a residence located adjacent to the former Berlin Wall.
Upon her arrest, authorities discovered a counterfeit Italian passport and two pistol clips in her possession. Her identity was confirmed through a fingerprint examination.
Accompanying Klette was a man found in possession of a fake passport; the identity of this individual is currently under investigation.
Klette was part of the third generation of the RAF, active in the late 1980s and early 1990s, responsible for the murders of Siemens AG director Karl Heinz Beckurts and his driver Eckhard Groppler, Deutsche Bank director Alfred Herrhausen, and President of the Union of German Industry Detlev Karsten Rohwedder.
In 1991, the group conducted an unsuccessful armed attack on the US Embassy in Bonn, where Klette's DNA samples were recovered from the scene.
Additionally, she is implicated in the bombing of the new prison building in Weiterstadt.
Following the dissolution of the RAF, Klette, alongside two accomplices, engaged in a spree of supermarket robberies resulting in damages exceeding 2 million euros.
