Red Army Fraction (As Germans I suppose it would be something like Rote Armee Fraktion?) Most people called them "faction" in English but they preferred "fraction" as it was meant to imply that they were only a small part of a vast army of workers et.c They weren't, of course. Bloody heck, they even have a web site: http://www.rafinfo.de/ More often called "Baader Meinhof Gang" presumably because Ulrike Meinbhof looked sexier than most terrorists. And yes, http://www.baader-meinhof.com/ exists - though it seems to be a fan site. So now we have assasination groupies.
