Beate Zschaepe: Federal Prosecutor S Office

Uwe Boehnhardt Dept: Four supporters of the woman, Beate Zschaepe, were also charged for helping the group, the Federal Prosecutor s Office said in an e-mailed statement Thursday. The NSU s activities came to light a year ago when Zschaepe s two accomplices, Uwe Boehnhardt and Uwe Mundlos, committed suicide in a camper vehicle in Eisenach, a city in the German state of Thuringia, according to The Star. Chancellor Angela Merkel has called the crimes a disgrace for Germany. Authorities have struggled to explain the failure to uncover the three-person cell that allegedly carried out a string of crimes over a decade, including 15 robberies to finance the group and german prosecutors charged a 37-year-old member of the neo-Nazi cell NSU with killing 10 people as part of a plan to terrorize minorities and force them to leave the country. In 1998, Boehnhardt, Mundlos and Zschaepe decided to bring to life their racist ideas of conserving the German nation through murders of arbitrarily chosen citizens with immigrant roots, prosecutors said. Their goal was to make members of that part of the population leave Germany out of fear for their security. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
