Vingt-sept ans après l'explosion qui avait tué quatre personnes en plein Paris, la justice est sur la piste d'un Palestinien vivant au Canada. LE CHEF du commando ayant perpétré l'attentat contre la synagogue de la rue Copernic, le 3 octobre 1980, vit paisiblement au Canada après de longues années passées aux États-Unis. Et les services antiterroristes français, qui n'ont jamais clos l'enquête, ont bien l'intention de troubler sa retraite. Une commission rogatoire internationale a été délivrée le mois dernier aux services enquêteurs (DST et brigade criminelle) pour recueillir des informations sur son séjour aux États-Unis. Les policiers s'efforcent aussi de rassembler des éléments permettant de le confondre (empreintes digitales, spécimens d'écritures, traces ADN). Un exercice ingrat qui prendra des mois. Le suspect, d'origine palestinienne, âgé aujourd'hui de 55 ans, possède la double nationalité libanaise et canadienne. Il y a 27 ans, il militait dans les rangs d'un groupuscule terroriste palestinien né dans les années 1970, le Front populaire de libération de la Palestine-Opérations spéciales (FPLP-OS), hostile à Yasser Arafat. En septembre-octobre 1980, il a confectionné l'engin explosif déposé à quelques mètres de la synagogue de l'Union libérale israélite. Ce vendredi 3 octobre 1980, vers 18 h 40, la bombe, déposée dans la sacoche d'une moto, avait tué 4 personnes (3 Français, Jean-Philippe Bouissou, Jean-Ernest Barbé, Ilario Lopez-Fernandez, et une jeune Israélienne, Aliza Shagrir) et en avait blessé une vingtaine. Quelques minutes plus tard, le carnage aurait été bien pire avec la sortie de la synagogue des 320 fidèles, dont de nombreux enfants, réunis en cette veille de Shabbat. Chaussée ensanglantée, vitrines en miettes, voitures se consumant dans des nuages de fumée : c'est une vraie scène de guerre en plein coeur du XVIe arrondissement que les policiers découvrent. L'explosif, de la penthrite, semble indiquer qu'il s'agit d'un travail de professionnel. L'émotion est grande devant cet attentat antisémite. Le premier ministre, Raymond Barre, prononce sa fameuse phrase sur les « Français innocents » qui lui sera reprochée un quart de siècle durant. Le 4 octobre 1980, 200 000 personnes défilent dans les rues de la capitale. Un appel anonyme a revendiqué l'action au nom des faisceaux nationalistes européens, groupuscule néonazi issu de la fédération anarchiste nationaliste européenne (FANE) dissoute depuis peu. Un suspect pas très discret La thèse d'une action d'extrême droite, écartée en dépit de multiples « révélations », compliquera longtemps une enquête empoisonnée par l'élection présidentielle de 1981. Les enquêteurs sont très vite convaincus que la bonne piste est celle du terrorisme palestinien. Ils se fondent sur des renseignements de services « amis », sur la nature de l'explosif utilisé et sur le mode opératoire digne de terroristes professionnels. L'enquête permet surtout de dresser le portrait-robot d'un homme d'un mètre soixante-dix, d'origine arabe. Le suspect n'a pas été très discret. Il a été vu déposer la moto avant l'explosion. Dans les jours qui ont précédé, il se paie les services d'une prostituée et se fait appréhender par un vigile pour avoir tenté de voler une pince coupante d'électricien ! Il a surtout acheté la moto de l'attentat sous le nom d'Alexander Panadriyu, citoyen chypriote et loue une voiture sous celui de Joseph Matthias, toujours chypriote. Dans le Beyrouth de l'époque, les terroristes de tout poil sont friands de ces faux passeports chypriotes. En ce mois d'octobre 1980, Alexander-Joseph s'évanouit dans la nature. Mais les services ont de la mémoire. L'Allemagne « achète », dans des circonstances encore inconnues, un document de grande valeur, le fichier du FPLP-OS, et le met à disposition des pays amis (États-Unis, Royaume-Uni, France, Israël...). La justice française semble avoir tardé à exploiter ces informations. Y figurent les noms du commando de la rue Copernic. Certains sont morts aujourd'hui, d'autres résident dans des pays peu hospitaliers. Mais son chef Alexander-Joseph n'est autre que notre Libano-Canadien. L'Italie fournit aussi à Paris une copie d'un passeport utilisé en 1980 par ce dernier : la photo correspond trait pour trait au portrait-robot de la rue Copernic, et des visas établissent qu'il était bien présent en France au moment des faits. Ironie de l'histoire : l'homme, soupçonné également d'avoir participé à l'attentat perpétré en 1981 contre la bourse de diamant d'Anvers, a de bonnes chances de continuer sa paisible existence.
Siebenundzwanzig Jahre nach der Explosion, die vier Personen in vollem Paris getötet hatte, ist die Justiz auf der Spur eines lebenden Palästinensers in Kanada. Der CHEF des Kommandos, der das Attentat gegen die Synagoge der Rue Copernic verübt hat, am 3. Oktober 1980 lebt friedlich in Kanada nach vielen vergangenen Jahren in den Vereinigten Staaten. Und die französischen antiterroristes Dienste, die nie die Untersuchung abgeschlossen haben, haben gut die Absicht, ihre Pension durcheinanderzubringen.

Quelle merde!
Well, paragraphs at least would be nice.
Twenty-seven years after the explosion which had killed four people in full Paris, justice is on the track of a Palestinian living in Canada. The CHIEF of the commando having perpetrated the attack against the synagogue of the street Copernic, October 3, 1980, lives peacefully in Canada after long years spent to the United States. And the French antiterrorist services, which never closed the investigation, intend well to disturb its retirement. An international letter of request was delivered last month with the investigating services (DST and murder squad) to collect information on its stay in the United States. The police officers also endeavour to gather elements allowing to confuse it (fingerprint, specimens of writings, traces ADN). An ungrateful exercise which will take months. The suspect, of Palestinian origin, old today 55 years, has the Lebanese and Canadian dual nationality. 27 years ago, it militated in the rows of a Palestinian terrorist bunch born in the years 1970, the Popular Front of release of the special Palestine-Operations (PFLP-bone), hostile with Yasser Arafat. In September-October 1980, it made the explosive machine deposited with a few meters of the synagogue of the liberal Union Jew. This Friday October 3, 1980, towards 6 p.m. 40, the bomb, deposited in the satchel of a motor bike, had killed 4 people (3 French, Jean-Philippe Bouissou, Jean-Ernest Barbé, Ilario Lopez-Fernandez, and a young Israeli, Aliza Shagrir) and had wounded a score of it. A few minutes later, carnage would have been quite worse with the exit of the synagogue of the 320 faithful ones, of which many children, brought together in this day before of Shabbat. Ensanglantée roadway, windows in crumbs, cars being consumed in clouds of smoke: it is a true scene of war in full heart of XVIe district which the police officers discover. The explosive, of the penthrite, seems to indicate that it acts of a work of professional. The emotion is large in front of this attack anti-semite. The Prime Minister, Raymond Bars, pronounces his famous sentence on the “innocent French” who to him will be reproached a quarter century during. October 4, 1980, 200 000 people ravel in the streets of the capital. An anonymous call asserted the action in the name of the European nationalist beams, bunch néonazi resulting from the European nationalist federation anarchistic (FAN) dissolved recently. A suspect not very discrete the thesis of an action of extreme right-hand side, isolated in spite of multiple “revelations”, will complicate a long time an investigation poisoned by the presidential election of 1981. The investigators are very quickly convinced that the good track is that of Palestinian terrorism. They are based on information of “friendly” services, on the nature of the explosive used and the procedure worthy of professional terrorists. The investigation especially makes it possible to draw up the identikit picture of a man of one meter seventy, of Arab origin. The suspect was not very discrete. It was seen depositing the motor bike before the explosion. In the days which preceded, it treats to the services of a prostitute and is made apprehend by a watchman to have tried to steal cutting pliers of electrician! It bought especially the motor bike of the attack under the name of Alexander Panadriyu, Cypriot citizen and rents a car under that of Joseph Matthias, always Cypriot. In Beirut of the time, the terrorists of any hair are fond of delicacies of these Cypriot forged passports. In this October 1980, Alexander-Joseph disappears in nature. But the services have memory. Germany “buys”, in still unknown circumstances, a document of great value, the file of the PFLP-bone, and the place at the disposal of the friendly countries (the United States, Royaume-Uni, France, Israel...). French justice seems to have been long in exploiting this information. Y appear the names of the commando of the street Copernic. Some died today, others reside in not very hospital countries. But its Alexander-Joseph chief is not other than our Libano-Canadian. Italy also provides in Paris a copy of a passport used in 1980 by this last: the photograph corresponds milks for feature with the identikit picture of the street Copernic, and of the visas establish that it was quite present in France at the moment of the facts. Irony of the history: the man, also suspected of having taken part in the attack perpetrated in 1981 against the diamond purse of Antwerp, is likely good to continue his peaceful existence.
