Munich police arrested two neo-Nazis suspected of attacking a 48-year-old dark-skinned American on the street early Sunday morning. The man, whose name was not released, was able to fend off the group of drunken skinheads with a street sign until police arrived. He was not injured. Investigators said Monday the two arrested were connected to the Munich neo-Nazi leader Martin Wiese, who is behind bars on suspicion of planning bomb attacks on the construction site of Munich's new synagogue and other targets.
