Alleged Red Army Faction member held after 30 years
Authorities have apprehended a man believed to be a former member of the notorious Red Army Faction, a left-wing militant group responsible for a series of bombings, kidnappings, and assassinations in Germany during the 1970s and 1980s.
The suspect, who has been on the run for over three decades, was found living under an assumed identity in a rural village in southern Germany. He was arrested following a tip-off from a concerned citizen who recognized him from his wanted poster.
The Red Army Faction, also known as the Baader-Meinhof Group, was active in Germany from the late 1960s to the early 1990s. The group carried out numerous violent acts in an attempt to overthrow the capitalist system and establish a communist state.
The arrest of the alleged former member has reignited interest in the decades-old case and has raised questions about how someone could evade capture for so long. Authorities are now working to gather more information about the suspect’s activities during his time on the run.
It remains to be seen what charges the man will face and what additional details will emerge as the investigation unfolds.
