- Unification is proving to be a disaster for terrorists.
- Cooperation between East and West Germany has led to the arrest
- of nine suspected members of the notorious Red Army Faction.
- All were caught in East Germany. Last week the trail reached
- all the way to former Communist Party boss Erich Honecker, who
- is accused of personally giving safe haven to the terrorists.
- East German Interior Minister Peter-Michael Diestel said that
- Honecker and former Minister of State Security Erich Mielke
- knew exactly how the now disbanded ministry had provided R.A.F.
- members with false papers, jobs and protection.
-
- Diestel said that harboring terrorists was Honecker's
- "personal hobby." The former East German leader, recovering
- from cancer surgery, issued a stout denial of all the charges,
- insisting that East Germany "did its share" to combat
- terrorism.
