Agence France-Presse “German Red Army Faction trio wanted by Dutch police” https://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/jul/26/german-red-army-faction-militants-wanted-dutch-police

３名の元独逸赤軍派（RAF）*1メンバーが和蘭警察当局によって、複数の強盗容疑で指名手配されている。RAFは1998年に解散した筈なのだが、メンバーによる活動は未だに続いているわけだ。

Ernst-Volker Staub, 61, Burkhard Garweg, 47, and 57-year-old Daniela Klette are former members of the Red Army Faction (RAF), which sowed terror in the 1970s and 80s in a campaign of bombings, kidnappings and killings.
The three are wanted for a spate of robberies on money transporters*2 and at least six supermarket heists.
“Police have reason to believe that the three are living in the Netherlands,” a statement said. “Crimes were committed on the Dutch-German border, they have not yet been detained in Germany and a mobile phone belonging to one of the fugitives was switched off in the Netherlands.”
Between €46,000 and €100,000 were stolen in each holdup – except on 7 May, when the robbers escaped with a guard’s firearm but no cash, and on 6 June.
On that day another cash-in-transit van was attacked with an AK-47 assault rifle. The raiders fled without taking any cash, police said.
Detectives are focusing on the Netherlands where the three may be living on a small secluded farm or anonymously in a city, “constantly changing from home to home and pretending to be tourists … The fugitives are armed and dangerous and should by no means be approached when spotted,” the police said.

RAFは当初反蘇聯社会帝国主義を掲げる毛沢東主義集団だったが、何時頃からか（帝国主義と同様に宿敵であった筈の）社会帝国主義蘇聯や東独の情報機関にコントロールされるようになったといわれる（See eg.中村好寿『軍事革命(RMA) 』）。さて、2011年には、RAFの結成には西独の左翼運動を暴力化させ、西独社会を混乱に陥れようとした東独の秘密警察（STASI）*3の陰謀が絡んでいたことが暴露されている。RAFの創設者のひとりで、STASIの工作員だったとされるHorst Mahlerの（政治）思想遍歴は波乱万丈で、社会民主主義者から毛沢東主義者になり*4、現在は「極右ナショナリスト」である*5。
