On 13 February 1991, three members of the Red Army Faction (RAF) fired about 250 rounds using a military rifle at the United States embassy in Bonn, Germany.
[1] The suspects fired at the embassy from a distance of about 500 metres[2] from Villa Von-Weiß-Straße 8, located across the Rhine river in Königswinter.
In a note left at the scene, the RAF said the attack was done to combat American imperialism and to get it out of Iraq.
The embassy received some bullet holes and broken windows, but no major damage was caused.
[5] In October 2001, new DNA tests of a hair left in the passenger seat of the Passat revealed that Daniela Klette may have been one of the suspects.
