The arrest warrant obtained years ago by the Federal Prosecutor's Office in Karlsruhe against the former RAF terrorist Daniela Klette, who was caught in Berlin, remains in force.
A spokeswoman for the highest German prosecutor said this on Wednesday.
Klette is being investigated for causing an explosive explosion and attempted murder in crimes in the early 1990s.
Karlsruhe - Specifically, she is accused of having carried out an explosive attack on the Weiterstadt prison, which was under construction, in March 1993 together with the still wanted RAF terrorists Ernst-Volker Staub and Burkhard Garweg.
The explosion caused damage to the building amounting to around 123 million German marks.
Klette is also said to have attempted with other RAF members to carry out an explosive attack on a Deutsche Bank building in Eschborn in February 1990.
The explosive did not detonate because the ignition failed.
In addition, according to investigators' findings, Klette and RAF members fired at least 250 shots at the US embassy in Bad Godesberg in February 1991.
The 65-year-old Burdock was caught in Berlin on Tuesday.
She went into hiding with Staub and Garweg in the 1990s.
She is currently in custody for several robberies.
This procedure is carried out by the Verden public prosecutor's office in Lower Saxony.
