Bombs - Guns - Weapons

Aug. 08, 1977 - Attempted Assassination On The Building of The Federal Attorney-Ship In Karlsruhe (FRG) On August 25th, 1977 an attempted assassination on the building of the Federal Attorney-Ship could be defeated in the last minute. The perpetrators - a man and a woman - sought out a painter and his wife in an adjoining building, fettered the couple and installed there a weapon like a multiple rocket launcher'. The 42 tubes, made of water pipes, electric wires and contact places, an alarm-clock and other simple instruments, were aimed at the Federal Bureau of Investigation in Karlsruhe. For the fettered couple could help themselves and give alarm, the attempted assassination could be defeated. Meanwhile it is sure, that Christian Klar and Silke Mayer-Witt took part, who both are searched in connection with the murders of the Bank Manager Ponto and the Federal Advocat-General Buback. OPS:- The projectiles, with which should be fired on the Federal Attorney-Ship
