Neo-Nazi terrorists


In Germany the last member of the Neo-Nazi terrorist cell was arrested after a year long investigation. Beate Zschäpe had a hand in countless murders, robberies and bombings throughout the past decade. Her most ruthless crime was arranging financing and logistics for two confederates that killed 10 people, two bomb attacks, and fifteen bank robberies. Eight of the victims were of Turkish background, a Greek man, and a woman. The Neo-Nazis in Germany were brought to light a year ago and brought shock to the nation because they had been undetected for so long. The group came to surface after two members killed themselves after a bank robbery went wrong. Their crimes were all strategically placed in areas with high immigrant areas to make them move out of fear Security services in Germany have been under heavy criticism because an official was reported to have been shredding documents pertaining to evidence from the Neo-Nazi group. The head of Domestic intelligence agency, and the state of domestic violence chief both have stepped down from their position, and the head of federal criminal police also said he’d step down in a year. The irony in the Domestic agency is that, it was formed to stop extremist groups, and is now going under investigation to see how much the agency was influenced by the Neo-Nazis.

I feel bad for Germany, because I know how the country is trying to take off the stereotype that the Nazis have put on them. With groups like this, its not helping their image. People are going to assume Germany with Nazis still, even though there are Neo-Nazi groups across the world.
