Rote Armee Fraktion

The Rote Armee Frakion was in 1970-1998.  It was part of a violent WWII wing.  It was founded by Andreas Baader, Gudrun Ensslin, Horst Mahler, and Ulrike Meinhof. It was responsible for thirty four deaths.  "Baader-Meinhof Gang" and "Baader-Meinhof Group" or just "Baader-Meinhof" are sometimes used as nicknames for the organization. "Through its bombs and manifestos the RAF confronted the state with opposition at a level many activists today might find difficult to imagine."


I feel like the raf is not really like todays terroism.  I think that yes we do have terrorism but not to the extent that the RAF went.  I think that the only act of terroism that we have had recently is 9/11.  All other terrism is not as public ad the Raf was.
