Neo-Nazi ringleader threatens attorney in court

In the Munich trial of four neo-Nazis, the main accused, ringleader Martin Wiese, has threatened a co-defendants attorney over the latter's role in having his client confess to a bomb plot on the site of the city's new Jewish community center in 2003. Wiese told lawyer Joachim Schwarzenau, who represents the accused David Schulz, in harsh words that he would soon come to regret what he had done. Schulz and another defendant admitted to plotting a terrorist act early this week while Wiese still maintains his innocence. After the judge condemned the threat, Wiese apologized to Schwarzenau, but said that the confessions of the two co-accused were false. However, he was further implicated in the plot when the court heard the statement of an 18-year-old woman who was also a leading member of the neo-Nazi group "Kameradschaft Süd", lead by Wiese.
