Police arrested a 37-year-old German on suspicion of belonging to the right-wing extremists, and prosecutors labeled the National Socialist Underground group a terrorist organization.

Prosecutors suspect the group, which was discovered only last week, of having murdered eight people of Turkish origin, one Greek national and a German policewoman over the past decade.

“Now it is all about finding out whether ... more people were involved, whether there’s a network, finding out which dimension all this has,” Interior Minister Hans-Peter Friedrich told reporters in Berlin.

“It looks like, after all the evidence that we have so far, that we are experiencing a new form of far right terrorism,” he said, adding that the case was unusual because the group did not publicly claim responsibility or vaunt its actions within the far right scene.

-quite a bit more at the link-

Bit by bit this is starting to look really bad. What is puzzling is that although this has been all over German news for over a week now, there has been hardly a blip in international news. This is solid, homegrown terrorism of the worst kind... you'd expect that to be reported internationally, no? Especially in British news which normally fall over each other to report anything with even the remotest possibility of being able to be reported like nazi-related incidences in Germany.

On the other hand, it makes sense.
Terrorism deaths in Germany over the last decade:
Al-quaeda related: 0
Right-wing domestic terrorism: 10 (at least)

1. maybe it's because this man was NOT MUSLIM????

2. Unlike over half of the victims...

...so yes, this doesn't fit the mainstream narrative.

Something good has come out of this, though. The German media and political establishment have for the first time ever acknowledged the existence of far-right, organized domestic terrorism. SPIEGEL is already calling them 'Brown Army Faction', relating to the infamous RAF years of left-wing terrorism. This is really a paradigm shift in the establishment. Sad it took more then 10 murders to get there, but still...

3. New development: Nazis may have been aided by German secret service!!

I havent found an english language source for this yet, but in the apartment police have found "genuine" forgeries of passports and ids.

This leads the German police to suspect that one of the nations secret services have been involved in covering up for the terrorists.

Representatives of every political party are demanding an inquiry into the role of the secret services.


This could get BIG.

4. German prosecutors formally arrest far-right terror group suspect

Source: The Guardian

German prosecutors formally arrested a woman suspected of co-founding a far-right terror organisation that authorities say murdered 10 people, amid mounting criticism of the authorities for their failure to act sooner.

The woman, identified only as Beate Z, has refused to co-operate with police since turning turned herself in last week.

The authorities are uncovering more details of a far-right group they are calling a domestic terror organisation, which they suspect murdered eight Turks and one Greek from 2000 to 2006 and fatally shot a policewoman in 2007.

The 36-year-old suspect is accused of founding and belonging to the National Socialist Underground group, with two other men, both of whom are now dead. She is further alleged to have set fire to a house used by the group in an effort to destroy evidence.

5. Same old song.....

The website of Der Spiegel magazine reported that the three were among a group of neo-Nazis suspected of sending letter bombs in 1997. Then in 1998, after investigators found five pipe bombs and explosives in a garage belonging to Beate Z., she and the two men disappeared.

At the time the head of the Thüringer Heimatschutz was actually an informer for Thuringia’s domestic intelligence agency, the Office for the Protection of the Constitution. The agency has denied that there was any contact between the state authorities and the suspects.

Thomas Sippel, current president of the Thuringia Office for the Protection of the Constitution, told Focus magazine that shortly after taking office in 2000, he launched an investigation into whether the trio had ever worked as informants for the agency. He said there was no proof found of any such contacts.

Monika Lazar, parliamentary spokeswoman on right-wing extremism for the Greens, said the question now was why these alleged criminals had remained undetected for so many years. “One wonders, what are the investigative authorities doing and what are undercover intelligence agents for?” she asked.

6. german terrorism

So these 3 stooges averaged about 1 kill per year. That is supposed to be some dangerous group of super powerful terrorists? Rampaging Moose are more dangerous than these guys. But if there is any mention of Nazi or Right-wing German politicians fall over themselves to get their face on camera. When I was in Germany the joke was that of the 300 or so members of the underground Nazi party half where undercover agents.
