Who shot Rohwedder? New traces in the murder case. Detlev Karsten Rohwedder (1932-1991) was a German manager and politician who was murdered by a sniper as the president of authority for Germany's reunion in East Berlin. The left-wing terrorist Red Army Group confessed to action. After German reunification in 1990, it was confirmed that Stasi, the security and intelligence organization of East Germany, had been monitoring the RAF, and in the 1980s had provided ten ex-members shelter and new identities.—WDR
