According to the findings of the Attorney General, the group was instrumental in the planning and execution of the attacks. The Higher Regional Court of Hamburg ruled in 2003 that the Hamburg cell was not an independent sub- organization that was to be regarded as an independent terrorist organization within the meaning of § 129a StGB. This view, however, was revised in the course of further proceedings.
