Dostoevsky was inspired to write the story of young psychopaths who are prepared to ignore any amount of collateral damage for the sake of "the Revolution", or "the People", by the Baader-Meinhof gang's political ancestor, the archetypical terrorist Sergei Nechayev.

The hijackers, from the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) along with some members of the German Baader-Meinhof gang, demanded the release of jailed Palestinian militants.

Among Germany's many chronicles of its homegrown terrorists, Stefan Aust's 1985 600-page Baader-Meinhof Komplex stands out as the classic, although not necessarily the best, study.

The Red Army Faction, also known as the Baader-Meinhof Gang after founders Andreas Baader and Ulrike Meinhof, was an extreme leftist group which grew out of student protests and anti-Vietnam War movements in 1960s West Germany.

Byline: ALLAN HALL A BAADER-MEINHOF terror gang leader walked free from jail today after serving 26 years for murders and bombings aimed at toppling the West German state.

In its early years, the RAF was often referred to as the Baader-Meinhof gang, after leading members Andreas Baader — who killed himself in prison after failed efforts to secure his release through extortion — and Ulrike Meinhof, who also committed suicide in prison.

Based on the 1997 non-fiction bestseller by Stefan Aust, former editor of the German news magazine Der Spiegel, it is more or less the entire life-story of West Germany's Red Army Faction from the late 1960s to the late 70s: that is, the Baader-Meinhof gang, led by firebrand Andreas Baader, played by Moritz Bleibtreu, and radical journalist-turned-revolutionary Ulrike Meinhof, played by Martina Gedeck.
