7.18: ALFRED HERRHAUSEN

The head of one of Germany’s leading financial organizations, as well as a top advisor to the West German government, Herrhausen was assassinated in 1989 when a sophisticated and powerful roadside bomb detonated at the moment his chauffeur-driven Mercedes drove by. Though a far-left militant group was blamed for the hit, there are signs that other forces might have been at work.
