A blast from the past, he's been in jail in France for about 2 decades, guess they want to add another life sentence. Interesting, about a week after his contemporary PFLP terrorist organized a woman's march in the USA. Same palestinian/communist organization, PFLP. Wonder if they ever met back in the day.

Why did it take 40 years to bring this to trial? Did they just recent find out his connection to the attack?

Thanks, hadn’t read about Polanski. Let him stay where he is.

A perfect example of why I hate moslem and socialist revolutionaries. Two people minding their own business at a market, having a nice day in Paris.
And this mindless A-hole take them by surprise and murders them in a frightening and painful and disfiguring death......because he supports a Palestinian cause. That’s it.

Our founders never murdered people in a market. They shot it out with the Brits. They curried favor with France to help them. But they didn’t do this crap.

1974 crime, 2017 trial — 43 years? Speedy trial, that.

No, they've known about it. My understanding from other articles charges were originally dismissed for lack of evidence. Don't think that was in a trial or any proceeding he was present at. He was caught by French special forces in 1994 and subsequently convicted of other attacks. Why recharging this after all these years, and while he's serving a life sentence, not entirely clear. Perhaps simply France making a statement about terrorism.

John Reed-(I think) wanted to return to the U.S. from East Germany and mysteriously died. That guy in Russia-forgot his name- can stay there. Polanski? Him too. Carlos? He should not be given the dignity of a natural death-war criminal. Just find a family member of one of the victims to do the dirty deed.

Dean Reed, maybe. John Reed was 70 years before that.

Every young guy was in love with Olivia Newton John in 1974.

She is certainly a more pleasant memory than 'Carlos the Jackal.'

The PFLP was supported by both Libya and Saddam Hussein’s regime in Iraq.

...and, one of Carlos the Jackal’s fellow PFLP associates just led the “Day Without A Woman” protests here in the US.
