MUNICH, West Germany — Bavarian state police have offered a reward of 1 million marks ($307,700) for information leading to the arrest of terrorists who killed an industrialist and tried to blow up a North Atlantic Treaty Organization officers school.
The reward, which police said was coordinated with the federal prosecutor’s office in Karlsruhe, was 20 times the amount of previous sums offered in connection with leftist Red Army Faction terrorists.
On Feb. 1, intruders entered the home of Ernst Zimmermann, 55, chairman of the giant Motoren-und Turbinen-Union of Munich. They tied up the industrialist and shot him. An anonymous caller claimed responsibility for the Red Army Faction in a telephone call to a local newspaper.
