- Revolutionary Cells (RZ)
Revolutionary Cells (German: "Revolutionäre Zellen" or RZ) was perhaps the most successful (based upon the number of attacks and the limited number of arrests) of the
left-wing West Germany -basedurban guerilla organizations, although certainly not the most well known.Different in group organization from the much more well-known
Red Army Faction , they were very loosely organized into tight-knit cells, making them much harder to capture. The group believed that their organization members should be regular members of society, again in contrast to the Red Army Faction, who believed that revolutionaries should truly be underground, or outside the system.The group is assumed to have broken up and merged back into society after the
collapse of the Soviet Union .Two of its members hijacked an airline with numerous Israelis and were killed in
Operation Entebbe .External links
