BLIND TO EXTREMISM
------------------------------
How Germany Overlooked the Threat from the Right
Over 140 people have died as a result of far-right violence in Germany
since reunification in 1990. But the German public has been largely
blind to the threat from the right. The revelations about the Zwickau
terror cell may now act as a wake-up call. By SPIEGEL Staff

Twenty People May Have Helped German Terrorists
While German police made one mistake after the next in their
investigation of the Zwickau terrorist cell, the three neo-Nazis, who
had gone underground, were able to rely on outside helpers. Authorities
now believe up to 20 people may have been part of their support network.

'We Have to Clarify What Happened in Our Society'
There has been massive criticism of the fact that a neo-Nazi terror
cell managed to elude German law enforcement officials for years. In a
SPIEGEL interview, Interior Minister Hans-Peter Friedrich discusses the
state's shortcomings in its battle against far-right terrorism and what
needs to change.

Honeymoon Unlikely for New Prime Minister
Spain's conservative Popular Party has won an historic election victory.
But the incoming prime minister, Mariano Rajoy, will not have much time
to savor his success. He will have to impose tough austerity measures to
sort out his debt-ridden country's finances. They could lead to massive
protests.

Merkel Under Pressure to Say 'Ja' to Euro Bonds
Chancellor Angela Merkel hates the idea of euro bonds. But with the
European Commission set to present a feasibility study on Wednesday,
pressure is mounting for her to change her tune. If she doesn't, say
some, the debt contagion will simply continue to spread.

Iranian Airline Buys Chancellor Merkel's Retired Jet
A recent purchase by an Iranian airline could prove embarrassing for
Berlin. The Theodor Heuss, once an official government jet and used to
ferry several different chancellors on trips abroad, now belongs to
Mahan Air -- despite German support for greater sanctions against
Tehran.

RIOTS IN CAIRO

Sentiment Growing against New Wave of Protests
This weekend's street battles in Cairo, which resulted in at least 20
deaths, could be costly for the protest movement. Many Egyptian people
fear the riots will jeopardize precisely what the spring protest
movement originally called for: free parliamentary elections that are
slated to begin next week.

'How Can Egypt Vote Under Such Conditions?'
Egypt's military leaders on Monday faced another explosion of protests
demanding an end to army rule. The official death toll from the most
recent demonstrations rose overnight to 22. German editorialists hope
next week's historic national ballot will not be derailed.

Book Reveals True State of US-German Cold-War Bond
A new biography of former German Foreign Minister Hans-Dietrich Genscher
removes the veneer to expose the sometimes ugly side of international
diplomacy. Some world leaders, it would seem, didn't always think much
of former chancellors Helmut Schmidt and Helmut Kohl.
