Worried about a nationwide ban, the Hell's Angels and Bandidos are arranging a truce in Germany. For over a year the two biker gangs have been involved in violent conflict. But on Wednesday a ceasefire will be sealed with a handshake in Hanover.

At the end of April, the biker gangs Hell's Angels and Bandidos were banned in the northern German state of Schleswig-Holstein -- a result of a rash of violent incidents between the two groups in the recent past. This month, other German states were considering following suit.

Quote from the article:

Now, though, that may no longer be necessary. The two gangs, sworn enemies who have been involved in an escalating conflict over control of various criminal activities and terrain since early 2009, said on Monday that they want to make peace. The truce -- agreed to by the vice president of the Bandidos in Europe, Peter M. and Frank H., the president of the Hell's Angels Charters in Hanover -- will be sealed "by a handshake" on Wednesday in a lawyer's office in Hanover. The announcement comes just in time for the biker gangs. On Thursday and Friday, interior ministers from Germany's 16 states are to meet in Hamburg, and biker-gang violence is high on the agenda. Many anticipate that the ministers will recommend pursuing a nationwide ban.
