merkel8Chancellor Angela Merkel has apologized publicly to the relatives of 10 people, mostly immigrants, suspected of being killed by a neo-Nazi group whose actions Germanauthorities failed to detect for more than a decade.

The group is suspected of killing eight people of Turkish origin and a Greek man between 2000 and 2006. Those killings went unsolved for years. The group is also believed to have killed a policewoman in 2007.

Merkel told a memorial today the killings were “a disgrace for our country.” She says some victims’ relatives were unjustly suspected in the murders, telling them: “I ask for forgiveness.” The neo-Nazi activities came to light in November when two suspected founders were found dead and a third suspected member turned herself in.
