Story highlights Police release photos of three former radicals accused in attempted robberies

The trio are former members of the Baader-Meinhof Group, a radical leftist terror group

(CNN) Police in Germany are appealing for sightings of former members of the infamous far-left Baader-Meinhof terror group, who appear to have come out retirement to attempt armed robberies to fund their lives on the run.

Law enforcement officials in the German state of Lower Saxony released pictures, taken this year, they believe are of Ernst-Volker Staub, 61, and Burkhard Garweg, 47, who are being sought on suspicion of attempted murder and attempted robbery.

Police are also seeking a third member of the group, Daniela Klette, 57, although their most recent photo of her dates back to 1988.

The wanted trio are former members of the Red Army Faction, a radical-left terrorist organization better known as the Baader Meinhof Group, which once terrorized German society with a campaign of bombings, assassinations and kidnappings.

The anti-capitalist group officially disbanded in 1998, but former members have remained on the run, avoiding prosecution for their crimes.
