East German police have arrested one of West Germany’s most wanted terrorist suspects, the second such arrest of an alleged member of the leftist Red Army Faction member in a week, officials said in East Berlin. Inge Viett, 46, was arrested in the East German city of Magdeburg. The government-run news agency ADN said that West German police were involved in tracking her down. Viett is accused of taking part in the murder of prominent West Berlin Judge Guenter von Drenkmann in 1974 and the kidnaping a year later of West Berlin Christian Democratic leader Peter Lorenz. Susanne Albrecht, another suspected Red Army Faction member, was arrested last week by East German police.
