	Baader-Meinhof: Terms - Red Army Faction
		The Red Army Faction was the name that the Baader-Meinhof Gang chose for itself.
		The RAF almost completely ceased to exist in mid-1972, when the original leaders were jailed, but within the next few years it would be almost totally revitalized when another group, the SPK, disbanded and remnants of that group joined the RAF.
		On 20 April 1998, the German BKA announced that an eight-page fax received by the Reuters news agency, claiming that the RAF was disbanding, was authentic.

	Red Army Faction - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Red Army Faction (or Red Army Fraction; also commonly known as Baader-Meinhof Group [or Gang]; in German: Rote Armee Fraktion or simply RAF), was postwar West Germany's most active and prominent left-wing terrorist organization; it described itself as an "urban guerrilla" group.
		The RAF operated from the 1970s to 1998, causing great civil unrest, especially in the autumn of 1977, which led to a national crisis that became known as "German Autumn".
		After German reunification in 1990, it was discovered that the RAF had received financial and logistic support from the Stasi, the security and intelligence organization of East Germany, which had given several members shelter and new identities, although this was already generally suspected at the time.
