Police arrested two people today, Sunday March 3, as part of their investigation to find wanted former members of the Red Army Faction (RAF). The police operation took place in the morning in a district of eastern Berlin, Friedrichshain, with special intervention forces. There were shots fired by the police to open a door, which did not cause any injuries. The police have not confirmed that the arrested people are Burkhard Garweg and Ernst-Volker Staub, the last two RAF members on the run after the arrest a few days ago of Daniela Klette. Since the arrest of Daniela Klette, searches carried out at her Berlin home and in the surrounding area have revealed several various munitions, firearms, including a Kalashnikov, a submachine gun and a handgun, as well as a rocket.
Daniela Klette had lived for around twenty years, under a false name, Claudia Ivone, with an Italian passport, in her apartment in the Berlin district of Kreuzberg, with a partner and a dog. Arrested on Monday without resistance, she has so far remained silent in the face of investigators.
