BERLIN (AP) — A German court ordered the release of a French woman accused of involvement in a guerrilla group’s murder of a conservative Chilean politician, but declined Friday to explain the reason for the decision.

Chile had asked Germany to extradite Marie Emmanuelle Verhoeven, who was arrested in January while trying to board a flight from Hamburg to Dubai. She had been wanted for almost two decades over her alleged involvement in the 1991 slaying of Jaime Guzman, leader of the Independent Democratic Union, conservative Chilean party.
