Description: "07/16/1978: Kristina Katherina Berster, a 28 year old suspected terrorist from West Germany, was arrested as she attempted to enter Vermont from Canada. Berster was using a fake Iranian passport bearing the name Shahrzad S. Nobari. The passport was one of a group stolen when radical Iranian students took over the Iranian Consulate in Geneva, Switzerland, in June 1976. The FBI noted that Nobari, an Iranian who lived in Hamburg, Federal Republic of Germany (FRG), had visited Los Angeles in December 1977 using a reissued passport. Berster was sought by the FRG for membership in the Socialist Patients' Collective, a group that included members of the Baader-Meinhof Group. She was imprisoned in the FRG for several months in 1973 for criminal conspiracy, illegal use of explosives and forging identity documents. She was released before her trial, and fled. Fingerprints and the ''Green Book"" - a compendium of wanted terrorists distributed by the West Germans to friendly governments - established her identity. "
