Frankfurt am Main, July 30th 1977, "Action Daisy":
RAF members Brigitte Mohnhaupt, Christian Klar and Susanne Albrecht are visiting the villa of Jürgen Ponto. The three were admitted because Albrecht had an appointment with the couple Ponto - her father was a childhood friend of Jürgen Ponto, her sister Pontos godchild. Susanne had a bouquet of roses for "Uncle Jürgen". According to her later statement, there was no fight, no scuffle, in the house when Christian Klar pulled his gun, threatened Ponto and told him he was kidnapped. Ponto said something like "you're crazy," made a defensive arm movement and a step forward. Then clear and poppy heads shot. Four bullets hit Jürgen Ponto, two of them in the head. He died about an hour later at the Frankfurt University Hospital.
