Irmgard Möller (also spelt Irmgard Moeller) (born May 13, 1947, Germany) was a member of the Red Army Faction.
[edit] As a Member of the RAF
On 24 May 1972 she was one of two people who drove cars full of explosives into the United States Military Intelligence Headquarters (G-2), (HQ USAREUR), at Campbell Barracks in Heidelberg. Three soldiers were killed in the attack (Ronald Woodward, Charles Peck and Captain Clyde Bonner) and five were wounded.
Möller was set-up by fellow Baader-Meinhof Gang Member Hans-Peter Konieczny and was arrested on 2 July 1972 and was subsequently sentenced to a lengthy prison term. She attempted suicide by stabbing herself in the chest on the morning of October 18, 1977, together with other Red Army members Andreas Baader, Gudrun Ensslin and Jan-Carl Raspe, during the height of the German Autumn.
Möller was the only member of the group to survive, and later claimed that it was actually an extrajudicial killing, orchestrated by the German government, in response to Red Army demands that the prisoners be released. Möller was released from prison in 1994 for health reasons. Today she lives anonymus with her partner in Southern Germany.
