MUNICH (Reuters) - Germany's federal prosecutor on Tuesday blamed the sole surviving suspect for a string of killings from 2000 to 2007 that left eight Turks, a Greek and a German policewoman dead, in a case that shocked the nation.

Prosecutors say Beate Zschaepe, 42, was part of the so-called National Socialist Underground (NSU), a neo-Nazi group that carried out the murders as well as two bombings and 15 bank robberies.
