Nationalsozialistischer Untergrund or NSU, (German: National Socialist Underground) is a German terror group who committed crimes at least from 2000 to 2011.

The Döner murders where the killings of nine Turkish and Greek immigrants between 9 September 2000 and 6 April 2006. Also the murder of Michèle Kiesewetter, a police woman, and the 2004 Cologne bombing have been attributed to the NSU.[1]

On 4 November 2011, after a bank robbery in Eisenach, Uwe Mundlos and Uwe Böhnhardt were found shot dead in a mobile home, which was burning. Police say they set the vehicle on fire and committed suicide when their vehicle was found.[2] In that caravan, Michèle Kiesewetter's handgun was found. The same day, their flat in Zwickau also was set on fire and an explosion occured, Beate Z. is suspect of having caused that.[3]

Police found a number of shotguns in the remains of that house, which are related to the Döner murders. Further, a DVD was found with images of three of the dead persons that had been taken immediately after the killings.[2]
