When searching the home of former RAF terrorist Daniela Klette, investigators also found “heavy weapons of war”. A spokesperson for the Verden Public Prosecutor's Office said this today. The seven-story building in Berlin-Kreuzberg was cleared by police yesterday. Later, some residents of another house also had to leave their apartments. The road was completely closed.
When Klette's apartment was searched, explosives, several weapons and a rocket-propelled grenade were found. These included a Kalashnikov, a submachine gun and a pistol with ammunition. Yesterday, forensic investigators brought a grenade out of the house, today another potentially dangerous object was removed and loaded into a special vehicle. A third discovery occurred later.
Hidden for 30 years
Former RAF terrorist Klette was arrested in Berlin-Kreuzberg on Monday night. She was in hiding for 30 years and reportedly lived in the German capital for years under a false identity. However, the name she allegedly used cannot be found on the doorbell at the entrance to the discreet apartment building.
Two fugitives probably in Berlin
The Verden Public Prosecutor's Office and the Lower Saxony State Criminal Police have been searching for Klette and the former RAF terrorists Burkhard Garweg (55) and Ernst-Volker Staub (69) for decades. The two wanted men have not yet been captured.
Staub and Garweg are probably in Berlin; The Criminal Police Office of the State of Lower Saxony intensified searches in Berlin and the surrounding area and assumed that there was a potential threat to the population.
