>> every day, it seems that more and more details are coming out about an organized far-right group in the country which allegedly carried out at least 10 murders over a period of seven years. between the years 2000 and 2007, 8 people of turkish origin were killed in various cities across the country. a policewoman was also killed. questions are being asked as to how the group got away with the killings and a series of bank robberies, despite being under police surveillance. media reports also suggested the

group may have had contacts within a state intelligence service. here is a closer look at the case which has gripped the nation. >> 19908, police discovered a bomb making shop and weapons. warrants were issued for three suspects. they were never captured. the german news magazine is reporting the trio had links to a local neo-nazi group. it included a paid informant. that has raised questions about how the suspects for able to evade the police for so long. >> it certainly received help and protection would then be -- within the neo-nazi group.

whether they also received covered from employees of state agencies is not something i am informed about. >> part of this house in these east german city was granted by the trio. just over a week ago, a bomb went off in the building. investigators found disturbing evidence, including fake identification papers, similar to those used by germany's secret services. lawmakers want to know how they got there. >> the original intelligence agencies also is insisted it was acted as an early morning system for democracy. it is becoming pretty obvious that something went wrong. it was not an early warning system. >> germany's regional intelligence agencies are likely to come under close scrutiny. >> there were protest here in the german capital on sunday

against police failures in this case. angela merkel said the killings were a national disgrace and she has pledged a full investigation. the case has also raised the larger issue of the far right in germany. how organized is it? what is the potential for organized violence? have the authority is underestimated the threat? >> the four years ago, we talked to this right wing extremist that was sent to prison. we are asked him whether he ever apologized to the victims. >> i can not have anything to do with it so i did not see any reason for me to apologize. >> experts say there are organized cells of militant neo- nazis throughout germany.

they like to participate in demonstrations of commercial power. they often glorify violence. >> basically, what they are doing stems from nazi ideology. they see a need to resist democracy. they see a need to resist what is known as a foreign infiltration. in other words, immigrants. >> they dismiss them as insignificant or irrelevant. when it became clear that the young policewoman was killed, it was dismissed as an isolated act. >> my note working hypothesis is when you have an organized group of militant activist, you have to -- you have a foundation for a terrorist gang.

you have to look at the kind of people who are involved to see if they could turn to terrorism. i think that is possible in any well-developed structure. >> in addition to a willingness to use violence, many have connections to the mpd. one such member is this man. several years ago, he tried to run down a lebanese rapidly with his car. police searching his home found a submachine gun, a semiautomatic pistol. >> earlier, we talk to our political correspondent. we asked him how the german authorities remained on aware of the group's activities for such a long time. >> clearly, there is a failure by police to establish a link

between these murders. with the other activities of this group, such as bank robberies and it may be a difficulty that this group was operating around the country in there is also a suggestion that police and other authorities may have a blind spot that they may believe that there is no such thing as organized terror attacks carried out by the far right. of course, of a left-wing extremist in the past, one thinks of the red army faction. there has been those with right- wing terrorism. they have not taken this issue seriously enough. >> simon, what about media reports that the neo-nazi had links to the domestic

intelligence services? >> these two men that committed suicide may have been cooperating in some way with the intelligence services, at least at the regional level. these faults identity objects were found in the house where they had been living. these documents are only available to people who are operating with the intelligence services. it seems that the problem is -- it has had problems in the past. it has been criticized for continuing links with neo-nazis. at any rate, it seems that those intelligence authorities did not pass on their information to

national intelligence services, let alone to the justice authorities or to politicians. in that sense, this whole case represents a massive failure by the domestic security services. >> there have been new calls for a band of the far right mpd. >> angela merkel has been saying that she will look at that. the mpd is a legal political party. it is represented and regional parliaments and receive taxpayer funding. the government has tried to ban the mpd. they could not tell who was too. that has been the problem in the past. it will take a long time to withdraw those people. that, of course, complicates the situation. it is unlikely to happen anytime soon. >> thank you during much.
