Abstract

The Baader–Meinhof Gang in Germany (late 1960s) used terror tactics. The group styled itself the Rote Armee Fraktion (RAF) and in its 30 years of activity (until 1998) was held responsible for 34 deaths and many injuries [1]. The counter-strategy for this group was legal in nature: they broke laws and should be held accountable. The RAF members may have cared about their ideology; however, few others did. The group ultimately died out, whether because of this approach or despite it. In today’s (2013) terms, this was a small group—small enough that Wikipedia lists the names of all of the known members (about 60).
