[01] German authorities: Arrested woman not linked with RAF fugitive
(ANA-MPA) -- German authorities on Sunday reportedly confirmed that a
27-year-old German woman, arrested days ago in Athens during an urban
terrorism-related sweep, is not related to 1990s fugitive Barbara
Meyer, a one-time cadre in the German terrorist gang "Red Army
Faction".
According to reports, German officials said the detained 27-year-old's
mother has no relation whatsoever to Meyer.
The RAF-linked Meyer was born in 1956, while the mother of the woman
arrested in the Perissos district of Athens was born in 1958. The
latter also lives permanently in Greece with another two sons, while
the woman's father is permanently employed at a Berlin penitentiary as
a musicologist.
Beyond the now defunct RAF connection, Greek anti-terrorism authorities
said they are focusing on the 27-year-old woman's links with four
suspects arrested last week for a previous bomb attack against a power
company worksite in the northern city of Thessaloniki.
