THE TELEGRAPH: Neo-Nazi crimes in Germany soared last year by 16 per cent, according to new government figures.
The number of far-Right attacks rose to 20,422, with violent crimes up 5.6 per cent at 1,113 cases, including two killings.
Far-Right [sic] crimes accounted for two thirds of all "politically motivated" crimes last year, which reached 31,801 -- an increase of 11.4 percent and the highest level since 2001.
Wolfgang Schauble [sic], the German interior minister, said the rise in politically motivated crime was disturbing. He swore that the Berlin government would counter it with a variety of "measures against extremism, racism and intolerance". >>> By Allan Hall in Berlin | Wednesday, April 22, 2009
