Seevetal (dpa) - In a forest near Seevetal in Lower Saxony, an earth depot has been discovered, which may contain remains of the RAF.

In a buried plastic barrel, among other things, documents from the eighties and containers with initially unknown liquids were seized, as the State Criminal Police Office of Lower Saxony announced on Saturday.

Guns were not found.

After an initial assessment of the written material, a reference to the nationwide terrorist group RAF cannot be ruled out, it said.
