BERLIN ­ A court in Germany says a former member of the leftist Red Army Faction will go on trial Sept. 30 over her alleged role in the 1977 murder of West Germany's chief federal prosecutor.

The German news agency DAPD reported that the Stuttgart state court on Monday set 17 court sessions through Dec. 21 for the trial of Verena Becker.

Becker was charged earlier this year with three counts of murder for allegedly playing a leading role in the fatal ambush of then-West German federal prosecutor Siegfried Buback, his driver and a bodyguard ­ one of the group's most notorious killings.

Prosecutors have said evidence generated using DNA samples linked Becker to a letter claiming responsibility for the attack. It remains unclear who fired the gun.
