Former RAF terrorist Daniela Klette (65) is unlikely to get out of prison any time soon. Several arrest warrants have been issued for her, including one from 2018. On Thursday, a detention order was issued in Karlsruhe (see video above).

This means that someone is already in custody or on remand and another arrest warrant will be issued. However, this has no concrete consequences for the time being. Klette is accused of attempted murder in two cases as well as attempted and completed explosives detonation in three attacks between February 1990 and March 1993. According to a spokeswoman, membership of the terrorist organization Rote Armee Fraktion (RAF) is now time-barred.

Attack on administration building and US embassy
On February 13, 1991, for example, the detainee and other RAF members allegedly carried out a gun attack on the US embassy in Bonn-Bad Godesberg. At least ten people were in the affected part of the building at the time of the attack. In another case - on February 20, 1990 - an explosive detonation was allegedly planned in the Deutsche Bank administration building. According to the Federal Public Prosecutor's Office, the only reason there was no explosion was because the detonator failed.

In addition, on March 27, 1993, an explosive attack was carried out on the newly built but not yet occupied Weiterstadt prison near Darmstadt. The guards were also overpowered. Klette is said to have been involved with the wanted former RAF terrorists Ernst-Volker Staub and Burkhard Garweg.

As reported , Klette was captured in Berlin at the end of February after more than 30 years in hiding. The proceedings of the public prosecutor's office in Verden are also directed against Staub and Garweg. They are suspected of attempted murder and serious robberies from 1999 to 2016.
