Germany marks 30th anniversary of Red Army Faction terror campaign
2007-09-04 18:48:05 -
BERLIN (AP) - Germany is quietly remembering the 30th anniversary Wednesday of the start of a 44-day terror campaign by the left-wing Red Army Faction _ an ordeal that began with the kidnapping of a top industrialist and ended in bloody defeat for the terror group.
The so-called «German Autumn» was a test of will for Chancellor Helmut Schmidt, who recently admitted he still felt personal guilt toward the family of murdered hostage Hanns-Martin Schleyer.
In the long run, the campaign demonstrated the RAF's inability to achieve its aims, while Germany learned lessons that left it in a stronger position to deal with today's terrorist threats.
None of that, however, was yet apparent on Sept. 5, 1977, when Schleyer _ the head of the West German industry federation _ was kidnapped on his way home from work in Cologne.
RAF members dragged him from his car after gunning down driver Heinz Marcisz and police guards Rheinhold Braendle, Roland Pieler and Helmut Ulmer _ indiscriminate killing that was one of the group's hallmarks and helped undermine sympathy for its aims.
The RAF _ also known as the Baader-Meinhof gang after two early leaders, Andreas Baader and Ulrike Meinhof _ followed Marxist-Leninist ideology and sought to overthrow the capitalist West German government and fight perceived U.S. imperialism. They styled themselves as «urban guerrillas» after South American groups such as the Tupamaros from Uruguay.
The Schleyer kidnapping was intended to force the release of Baader and three other RAF members held in the Stammheim prison near Stuttgart. The crisis quickly escalated as the government refused. On Oct. 8, negotiators received a picture of a glum Schleyer in captivity.
As the government held firm, the RAF's Palestinian allies hijacked a Lufthansa jet from Mallorca on Oct. 13, and flew to Mogadishu, Somalia, killing the pilot, Juergen Schumann, in Yemen along the way.
Despite the mounting pressure, Schmidt again rejected the hostage-takers' demands. At his orders, German elite troops flew to Somalia and stormed the plane, killing three of four hijackers and rescuing the hostages on Oct. 18.
That same day, Baader and RAF leaders Gudrun Ensslin and Jan-Carl Raspe killed themselves in prison; one member, Irmgard Moeller, survived self-inflicted stab wounds.Schleyer's body was found the following day in a car in Mulhouse, just across the border in France. Schmidt attended the public funeral a few days later, seated between Schleyer's widow, Waltrude, and son.
«It was naturally clear to me, that in the eyes of Mrs. Schleyer and their son, Hanns Eberhard Schleyer, and also in my own eyes, that I shared guilt for the death of Hanns Martin Schleyer,» Schmidt was quoted as saying by the Die Zeit newspaper last week.
«That was always clear to me. It was clear during the weeks we were looking for him: If this doesn't succeed, you are yourself to blame.
The RAF declared itself disbanded in 1998. Of the 20 people believed to be involved in Schleyer's kidnapping, 17 were jailed, two were killed by police, and one, Friederike Krabbe, who would now be 57, is still being sought.
One participant, Christian Klar, is still serving time and was refused clemency by President Horst Koehler. He is not eligible for parole until 2009. Another, Brigitte Mohnhaupt, was paroled earlier this year after a quarter-century in prison.
While no major events are planned to mark this week to mark the anniversary of the «German Autumn,» those two cases prompted debate earlier this year as to whether the killers of the 1970s deserve mercy now, and about the legacy of the RAF.
Rolf Tophoven, author of «The Terrorism Encyclopedia: Perpetrators, Victims, Background,» said that the RAF was deceived by its Marxism-Leninism into thinking it could topple democratic West Germany.
«It was an ideological blindness, that one could overthrow democracy on this ideological basis,» Tophoven said.
Since then, he said, «the state, or the democracies rather, are much better equipped to fight terrorism. The lessons were learned. We are better equipped in the area of intelligence, we have special forces in Germany and elsewhere.
«Looking back, the lesson is: terrorism can be defeated if the state is resolute and does not give in to extortion,» Tophoven said. «That, I believe, is one of the most important lessons.
Tophoven said the RAF threat ultimately was not comparable to that from Islamic militants in the wake of the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks in the United States.
«When, in a few years, we write the history of international terrorism, then in comparison to the confrontation with militant Islamic terrorism such as al-Qaida, the attacks of 9-11 and the subsequent attacks in Asia and Europe, the RAF will be a footnote.

Japanese Red Army (JRA)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Other Names
Anti-Imperialist International Brigade (AIIB)
Nippon Sekigun
Nihon Sekigun
the Holy War Brigade
the Anti-War Democratic Front
Description
An international terrorist group formed around 1970 after breaking away from Japanese Communist League-Red Army Faction. The JRA was led by Fusako Shigenobu until her arrest in Japan in November 2000. The JRA's historical goal has been to overthrow the Japanese Government and monarchy and to help foment world revolution. After her arrest Shigenobu announced she intended to pursue her goals using a legitimate political party rather than revolutionary violence. May control or at least have ties to Anti-Imperialist International Brigade (AIIB); also may have links to Antiwar Democratic Front--an overt leftist political organization--inside Japan. Details released following Shigenobu's arrest indicate that the JRA was organizing cells in Asian cities, such as Manila and Singapore. Has history of close relations with Palestinian terrorist groups--based and operating outside Japan--since its inception, primarily through Shigenobu. The current status of these connections is unknown.
Activities
During the 1970s, the JRA carried out a series of attacks around the world, including the massacre in 1972 at Lod Airport in Israel, two Japanese airliner hijackings, and an attempted takeover of the US Embassy in Kuala Lumpur. In April 1988, JRA operative Yu Kikumura was arrested with explosives on the New Jersey Turnpike, apparently planning an attack to coincide with the bombing of a USO club in Naples, a suspected JRA operation that killed five, including a US servicewoman. He was convicted of the charges and is serving a lengthy prison sentence in the United States. Tsutomu Shirosaki, captured in 1996, is also jailed in the United States. In 2000, Lebanon deported to Japan four members it arrested in 1997, but granted a fifth operative, Kozo Okamoto, political asylum. Longtime leader Shigenobu was arrested in November 2000 and faces charges of terrorism and passport fraud.
Strength
About six hard-core members; undetermined number of sympathizers.
Location/Area of Operation
Location unknown, but possibly traveling in Asia or Syrian-controlled areas of Lebanon.
