BERLIN (AP) — German authorities say a former member of the disbanded left-wing militant Red Army Faction group who is accused of participating in a string of robberies has been arrested after more than 30 years on the run. The 65-year-old Daniela Klette was arrested at an apartment in Berlin on Monday afternoon. Investigators said Tuesday they were led to her by a tip they received in November from the public, but wouldn’t give details. Klette, who had a foreign passport under a different name, put up no resistance. She was identified with the help of fingerprints. Klette is one of three former Red Army Faction members whom police have been seeking for years.
