STUTTGART, Germany
A German court on Tuesday convicted a suspected former Red Army Faction terrorist of helping bomb a busload of Soviet Jews in Hungary in 1991, adding to a prison term she already is serving for another attack.

Andrea Klump, 47, was convicted on 32 counts of being an accessory to attempted murder. No one died in the bus attack.

She has been serving a nine-year sentence for helping plan the failed 1988 bombing of a Spanish disco frequented by U.S. sailors. After Tuesday's conviction, the Stuttgart state court ruled that she must now serve a total of 12 years in prison.

The court ruled that Klump helped her boyfriend, Horst Ludwig Meyer, and at least one other accomplice carry out the bombing for a Palestinian group. An organization calling itself the "Movement for the Freedom of Jerusalem" claimed responsibility for the attack.
