New arrest linked to far-right terrorists
GERMAN police arrested a new suspect yesterday following the discovery of an extremist group believed to have killed 10 people in what the country's top security official has called "a new form of far-right terrorism."
Police detained a 37-year-old German man on suspicion of belonging to the newly-exposed National Socialist Underground group.
Prosecutors say it is a terrorist organization and suspect the group of murdering eight people of Turkish origin, a Greek national and a German policewoman over the past decade. The nine civilian victims were businessmen.
Interior Minister Hans-Peter Friedrich said: "Now it is all about finding out whether 鈥 more people were involved, whether there is a network. It looks like, after all the evidence we have so far, we are experiencing a new form of far-right terrorism."
He said the case was unusual because the group did not publicly claim responsibility or vaunt its actions on the far-right scene.
Prosecutors are investigating whether the new suspect, identified only as Holger G in line with German privacy laws, was directly involved in the group's killings. The man is believed to have helped the group's other three known members by providing them with documents and vehicles,.
Two of the other group members are dead while the third surrendered to police last week.
