=== German Neo-Nazi murders ===
In 2011, the German government uncovered a [[Far right in Germany|far-right]] [[terrorism|terrorist group]] named [[National Socialist Underground]], which was linked to a [[Bosphorus serial murders|series of murders]], including the murder of a police officer. A report by ''[[Stern (magazine)|Stern]]'' claimed German [[Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution|BfV]] and DIA officers witnessed the murder of a policewoman during their surveillance of the [[2007 bomb plot in Germany|"Sauerland" group]]—an Islamist organization that planned attacks on [[List of United States Army installations in Germany|U.S. military installations]] in Germany—but that neither of the agencies reported it, thus enabling subsequent violent acts by the same criminal entities. The magazine cited an unverified DIA report that confirmed the agency's officers were at the site of the incident.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.stern.de/politik/deutschland/heilbronner-polizistinnenmord-waren-verfassungsschuetzer-zeuge-beim-mord-an-michele-kiesewetter-1757092.html |title=Heilbronner Polizistinnenmord: Waren Verfassungsschützer Zeuge beim Mord an Michèle Kiesewetter? |work=Stern |date=November 30, 2011 |access-date=September 11, 2012}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|author=Florian Rötzer |url=http://www.heise.de/tp/artikel/35/35979/1.html |title=Verbindung zwischen rechter Terrorzelle und Sauerland-Gruppe? |access-date=September 11, 2012|website=Heise.de|date=December 2011 }}</ref> The authenticity of the alleged DIA observation protocol, on which ''Stern'' based its report, was swiftly denied by the BfV, while DIA refused to comment. An unnamed U.S. "insider expert" for intelligence matters told ''[[Der Spiegel]]'' he deemed it unlikely that DIA could be involved in that type of operation.<ref name="DIA Germany Incident">Diehl, Jörg.
