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.
