The German police have said a botched armed robbery in northern Germany last June was the work of three wanted militants from the far-left Red Army Faction, also called the Baader-Meinhof gang. The group killed more than 30 people in a violent anti-capitalist campaign in the 1970s and 80s. Jan Berendse is professor of German at Cardiff University in Wales and an expert on Baader Meinhof. Weekend's Nuala McGovern asked him how powerful the group were in their prime.
