Johannes Weinrich (born 21 July 1947[1]) is a German left-wing terrorist and a founder of the Revolutionary Cells (RZ).
Weinrich is thought to have managed operations for "Carlos" — Ilich Ramírez Sánchez — in Europe during the 1970s and '80s.
[2] In 1975 Weinrich and Carlos attempted to hit an Israeli airplane at Orly Airport with two RPG-7 rocket launchers.
[5] He was imprisoned for providing the cars used in the attack, but was released on probation for health reasons eight months into his sentence and became a fugitive.
He faced trial for the 1975 rocket-propelled grenade attacks on El Al flights, 1981 bombing of Radio Free Europe in Munich, 1983 attack on the Saudi Ambassador to Greece, and the bombing of the French cultural centre in West Berlin the same year.
