Daniela Klette, 65, was arrested at an apartment in Berlin on Monday afternoon. Investigators said they were led to her by a tip they received in November from the public, but wouldn’t give details. ...

A search of the apartment later turned up two magazines and ammunition that would fit a handgun but no weapon, de Vries said.

Was Klette still active? Or were those just souvenirs of a wasted and terrible life? Many readers may not remember the RAF, but the leftist terrorist organization cut quite a swath in the 70s and 80s, and even into the 90s, when they finally announced their dissolution nearly a decade after communism collapsed in eastern Europe. 

People may remember it better as "Baader-Meinhof."
