> German investigators believe they have identified the lone neo-Nazi responsible for a 1970 arson attack at a Jewish community centre in Munich. Seven Holocaust survivors died and 15 people were injured. Prosecutors say the deceased suspect, Bernd V, is strongly implicated, while the presumption of innocence still applies.
