Police caught West Germany's No. 1 urban guerrilla suspect, Christian Klar, digging an underground arms dump in woods outside Hamburg, the federal prosecutor's office said.

Klar is regarded by police as the head of the extreme left-wing ''Red Army Faction,'' better known abroad as the Baader-Meinhof group.
