Germany's so-called "Nazi bride" was found guilty on 10 counts of murder Wednesday for her role in a neo-Nazi gang that carried out killings and bombings over the course of seven years.

Beate Zschaepe, 43, was sentenced to life in prison by a court in Munich, Reuters reported.

It marked the end of one of Germany's most high-profile and longest-running neo-Nazi trials.

Zschaepe is the sole surviving member of a white supremacist terrorist cell that called itself the National Socialist Underground (NSU).

Between 2000 and 2007, the three-member group was behind at least 10 murders — killing eight men of Turkish origin, a Greek migrant, and a German female police officer — as well as carrying two bombings in immigrant areas of Cologne and 15 bank robberies, according to prosecutors.

German police have arrested six men on suspicion of belonging to a far-right terrorist group that attacked foreigners in the city of Chemnitz.

The German nationals, aged 20 to 31, were taken into custody for allegedly forming a group called Revolution Chemnitz with the aim of subverting the democratic state. "To this end, they intended to launch violent and armed attacks against foreigners and people who have different political views," said federal prosecutors in a statement.

Their targets included representatives of different political parties and members of the economic establishment, the prosecutors said. They added that the group appeared to have been planning an assault on Germany's Unity Day, which falls on Wednesday
"They wanted to change the country," investigators told Munich-based daily newspaper Süddeutsche Zeitung. Citing intercepted chats and telephone calls, SZ reported that the men "wanted to achieve more than the National Socialist Underground" or NSU, a neo-Nazi extremist group uncovered in 2011 that murdered 10 people and planted three bombs.

As well as politicians, the group wanted to attack journalists, whom they referred to as "the media dictatorship and its slaves", the newspaper said.

The arrests again cast an uncomfortable spotlight on extremism in Saxony state, where Chemnitz is located and which is a stronghold of the far-right party AfD.

Investigators are still trying to determine if the suspects were involved in the wave of xenophobic marches that swept through Chemnitz at the end of August after a fatal stabbing, allegedly by
But prosecutors said that on 14 September five of the suspects "armed with glass bottles, weighted knuckle gloves, and an electroshock appliance, attacked and hurt several foreign residents" in Chemnitz.

"Investigations show that the assault was a test-run for an event that one of the accused planned for 3 October 2018," said prosecutors.

Police are still investigating what exactly was being plotted. More than 100 police officers were deployed to search apartments and other premises.

"With the arrests and raids, we are sending a clear signal that we are identifying and breaking up such rightwing terrorist structures early," said the Saxony interior minister, Roland Wöller.

Katarina Barley, the justice minister, highlighted the suspects' links to the football hooligan, skinhead and neo-Nazi scenes and said "the network under investigation does not stand in isolation".

At least one of the men, Tom W, was convicted 10 years ago for his role as a leader of a violent 50-strong far-right group known as Sturm 34 which was ultimately banned, SZ reported
Saxony, a former communist state, has gained notoriety as the home of several extremist groups.

Eight members of a far-right outfit called the Freital group were jailed in March on terrorism and attempted murder charges for a series of explosions targeting refugees and anti-fascist activists.

Members of the NSU, responsible for several racist killings, also evaded police for years in Chemnitz and another Saxony town, Zwickau.
