BERLIN - Police have made two arrests in Berlin in their search for individuals wanted for their suspected involvement in Germany’s notorious Red Army Faction (RAF) militant group, they said on March 3.
A police spokesperson from the German state of Lower Saxony, which was participating in the effort, confirmed that two arrests had been made but not the identities of those arrested.
Around 130 officers were on the ground in their search for suspects Ernst-Volker Staub and Burkhard Garweg, said Berlin police, who declined to give further details.
The search follows the arrest this week of a suspected RAF militant who had been on the run for three decades. REUTERS
