-Caveat Lector- =========================== The Committee for National Solidarity Tolstojeva 34, 11000 Belgrade, YU Copyright 1999 Agence France Presse Agence France Presse September 26, 1999 12:19 GMT SECTION: International news HEADLINE: Former German terrorist to do humanitarian work in Kosovo: report DATELINE: BERLIN, Sept 26 A former member of the German terrorist group Red Army Faction (RAF) who was jailed for kidnapping and murder will go to Kosovo on a humanitarian mission, the German weekly Der Spiegel reported. Silke Maier-Witt, 49, now works for the Forum of Civil Service for Peace, a coalition of non-governmental and religious organisations, the weekly said in its edition due Monday. The magazine added that she had already completed an internship with the group in Croatia's Krajina region. The former terrorist has also attended training sessions in Bonn offered by the German ministry for economic cooperation, which has tried to dissuade her from going to Kosovo, Der Spiegel said. The ministry declined to comment on the report. Maier-Witt was prosecuted along with other RAF members for the 1977 kidnapping and murder of German business leader Hanns Martin Schleyer. After seeking refuge in the former East Germany, she and about ten other former terrorists surrendered to western German officials prior to the country's reunification. Sentenced to ten years in prison, Maier-Witt won an early release in 1995. The extreme left-wing RAF committed several attacks and murders in the 1970s and 1980s before disbanding in April 1998. jd/wai/cml ________________________________________ Secretary General Mrs. Jela Jovanovic Art historian =========================== DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list.
