Italian authorities have assured West German police that they will soon extradite the two suspected members of a banned German neo-Nazi group who were arrested last Tuesday in the town of Avezzano, about 55 miles east of Rome. The two men, Franz-Joachim Bojarski, 30, of Fuerth; and Klaus Hubel, 20, of Bopfingen in Bavaria, are alleged members of the outlawed so-called sports groups headed by Karl Heinz Hoffmann. According to German police authorities, the group has been reconstituted in a Palestine Liberation Organization camp in Lebanon.
