As Mashia M. after more than ten years, the motive for the assassination learned that she had survived on 19 January 2001, her first thought was, „What am I supposed to be here “ white Mashia M. Now, as important to us the preservation of the German nation, „it said in a later emerged Confessor video about the then downed a daughter immigrated from Iran family. Then they have deliberately decided to continue their lives in Germany: „Now more than ever,“ the 32-year old doctor today said Wednesday before the Higher Regional Court of Munich. Several observers applauded in the process NSU method of co-plaintiff, by the above, a police officer said she had looked after the bombing of the grocery their parents in Cologne Probsteigasse „like a piece of grilled meat.“ „This image has been imprinted in my soul that I will never forget,“ the official said. Mashia M. was placed in an induced coma. According to his own words, she „begged by ambulance to painkillers“; they have been able to see anything because her eyes were glued after the explosion. On one side of their orbital floor was broken, both eardrums had burst.

The injuries to the face of the then 19 year old are the circumstances healed accordingly, but despite scar correction and laser treatments from the nearby visible today enough to be asked again and again: „What happened to you?“ So Mashia M. described the consequences of the attack? ,

It was the first bomb attack, which is assigned to the „National Socialist Underground“ (NSU) in the indictment. However, one of the five defendants, Carsten S., where about a year ago the suggestion that it may already have been the second after an attack with a injured in Nuremberg. In the latter, a flashlight had been used as bomb body.

On 19 January 2001 Mashia M. had opened in the back room of the grocery store in the Probsteigasse a tunnel can, which was previously delivered in one week there gift basket. The bearer of which later became a phantom image was created – the prosecution believes that it was one of the now dead NSU terrorists Uwe Mundlos and Uwe Böhnhardt – had posed as a customer and would leave the basket supposedly only there briefly to his To search for missing wallet.

The very playful painting of the tunnel box – red with white star – had one year NSU process already negotiated ten murders and detailed autopsy reports particularly disturbing.

„None of us here will guarantee me that does not yet exist additional people who already are tomorrow before the door,“ Mashia M. emphasized in court with a view of the terrorist group NSU, which, according to the indictment only three members and a few supporters had. Lawyer Edith Lunnebach representing Mashia M. incidental action, going from local Tipgebern, because the three neo-Nazis stop destination for residents of Saxony could hardly spring to mind: Crime scene photos show a German name on the label of the shop. Police investigators confirmed the witnesses that was barely visible from the outside, that a family with a migration background ran the business. There is no area higher than average proportion of migrants.

Mashia M. reported on demand, her mother had occurred after the announcement of NSU woman again, that a few weeks before the attack strongly the toilet of the store was going to use. You should have had similarity with the main accused Beate Zschäpe.
