On November 4 in Berlin, two alleged terrorists, believed to be from an organized right-wing terror cell, were found dead in a burning motor home. A third terrorist came forward on the fourth day, saying that she had set off the bomb and then fled. When she turned herself into police, weapons that had been used in other attacks had been found. On Sunday, another alleged terrorist was arrested near Hannover. Authorities believe that the four were acting together but do not currently believe they were part of any larger group.
The four were believed to be the neo-Nazi terror cell involved in killing at least 10 people of mostly Turkish and Greek descent.
In a video which seemed to be intended for the German media, the alleged terrorists claim to have killed eight Turks, one Greek and a police officer between 2000 and 2007. The attacks occurred all over Germany and became known as the "Doener Murder Series." Until these arrests, police had not believed that the attacks had been committed by the same people. In addition to the video, pro-Nazi materials have been found. Der Spiegel, a German magaizine, is calling the group the "Brown Army Faction," referring to the brown shirts worn by Adolf Hitler's Nazis and to Germany's well-known left-wing terror group, the Red Army Faction. No one has been charged with a crime at this point. The news has sparked outrage among Germans.
