COLOGNE, Germany -- White supremacist David Duke, arrested in Germany
ahead of speaking to a neo-Nazi gathering outside Cologne, plans to

Duke, 61, a former Ku Klux Klan leader and one time Republican member of the Louisiana House, was reported to have been living off and on in Austria for the past two years.
