Police raids in Berlin fail to find two Red Army Faction fugitives

Over 100 officers joined operation, which will continue despite setback, as part of hunt for Ernst-Volker Staub and Burkhard Garweg in Germany

The renewed German police hunt for two alleged members of the Red Army Faction, previously known as the far-left militant Baader-Meinhof gang, who have been on the run for more than 30 years, will continue after an operation in Berlin failed to find the suspects.

Special armed police units launched raids in the Markgrafendamm area at 7.30am on Sunday in a search for Ernst-Volker Staub, 69, and Burkhard Garweg, 55.
