| German Terrorist's Brain Buried |
| 2002-12-20 |
| The brain of a notorious Red Army Faction terrorist was buried alongside the rest of her body after a university that performed research on the organ was forced to return it, officials said Friday. Ulrike Meinhof's twin daughters requested that their mother's brain be cremated and placed in an urn, which was buried Thursday at the Berlin cemetery where Meinhof's body was laid to rest more than 26 years ago, said Eckard Maack, a spokesman for prosecutors in Stuttgart. Well, good. If they toasted it, we can be sure it doesn't work anymore... |

| #1 It's kind of weird, but my Mom was friends with (Baader-Meinhof gang member) Gudrun Ensslin when she came to visit Iowa(!) as part of an international exchange program when both were young teenage girls. Gudrun stayed with her family for several weeks, and my Mom says she was a seemingly normal, nice, smart girl back then! Heh. It's a small world, eh? |
