killing nine foreigners go undetected for 13 years? The foreign media is
following developments relating to the Zwickau terror cell closely. Many
fear the coverage will be badly damaging to Germany's international
reputation.

Neo-Nazi Terror Cell Received Help from Friends
The members of the Zwickau neo-Nazi terrorist cell lived underground for

increasingly clear that they were able to do this because right-wing
extremist friends supported the trio with money, places to live and
papers. One of them was Matthias D.

The swipe aimed at Britain by Volker Kauder, a senior member
of Germany's Christian Democrats, has caused trouble in United Kingdom,
where the press says Berlin and London have fallen out over the euro

'No Reason a Company Like Ours Couldn't Come Out of Berlin'
Niklas Zennström, the co-founder of Skype, is only the
latest entrepreneur and investor to jump on the Berlin high-tech

developments in Europe and the United States.

German Village Rebuilds Its Snow Church 100 Years Later
Hotels and bars made out of ice have been common for a while -- now a

cubic meters of snow, just as their ancestors did 100 years ago.
