[edit] Terrorist Activities

On the 5th November 1984, Haule raided an arms dealer in Maxdorf near Ludwigshafen. Handguns, rifles and ammunition were stolen.
On 18th December of the same year, Haule was implicated in a plot to bomb a NATO school in Oberammergau. She allegedly parked a car full of explosives outside the school, however the attack failed due to a technical glitch.
On 1st February 1985, Haule was involved in the assassination of Ernst Zimmerman, in Gauting. Zimmerman was chairman of the board of MTU, he was shot through the head in his home. He was 55 at the time of his death. ^[2] The assassination was carried out in the name of Patsy O'Hara.
On 8th August 1985, Haule, along with Birgit Hogefeld, was involved in the murder of Edward Pimental - to obtain his I.D. to access the grounds of the U.S. Rhein-Main Air Base near Frankfurt.
Also in August of that year, Haule was implicated in a bomb attack on the aforementioned U.S. airbase, which killed A1C Frank Scarton and Becky Jo Bristol and left twenty others injured.

[edit] Arrest & Imprisonment

Haule was arrested in an ice-cream parlour in Russelsheim on the 2nd August 1986. She was charged with the failed bomb attack in Oberammergau as well as membership in a criminal organisation, robbery and falsification of documents. On the 28th June 1988 she was sentenced to 15 years imprisonment.

Haule was due for release in 2001, but the Rhein-Main Air Base bombing and murder of Edward Pimental charges were brought against her. New pieces of evidence (which involved Haule's own letters to another RAF member in prison containing self-incriminating information) were used to prove her guilt and she has since had her sentence extended. She was moved to a women's prison in Neukolln. She stated that 'an end to her detention was not foreseeable.' She is eligible for parole in August 2007. ^[3]

Haule attended photography classes in prison ^[4] and now takes portraits of other imprisoned women. Her collection, called "Portraits of Women under Captivity", has been exhibited. ^[5]
