Red Army Faction Arrest?

 Well....yes.

RAF terrorist Daniela Klette was arrested this afternoon, in the Hanover region.

Klette would be 65 years old, and been in hiding since the early 1980s....when being active in the RAF.

Hiding in plain sight?  More or less....she used a fake document to get the lease on this apartment she was renting.

A third generation element?  Well....this is the odd part of the RAF.....each generation came in....went through five to seven years, and appear to have burned out.  The third generation is the last group....before the RAF dissolved.

The general belief?  There are two male RAF members still on the 'hunt-list', and it's believed that Klette and the two....were quietly robbing grocery store operations over the past 20 years to pay for their lifestyle.

Little is said about 'how' they came upon her.....my humble guess is that the fraudulent paperwork for the apartment attracted some kind of attention.  

A big deal?  It'll be talked about a good bit tonight, and for the remainder of the week.  

Her crimes and charges?  Two bomb attacks  (early 1990s), and around a dozen grocery and bank-transit robberies.....enough to hand her 20 years.  My guess is that they will offer a simple deal....admit to everything....tell the whole story, and get a 8-year sentence.  The fact that she never murdered anyone?  That might be her saving grace.

This still being front-page thing with RAF?  If you are over 60....you remember the bulk of 1970s/1980s action.  If you are less than 30....you know next to nothing.
