Yep, and back on 8/5/1973, they attacked the airport in Athens. Going back to 8/5/1071, they captured the Roman emperor and "advanced through Europe."
See Post # 856 by milkncookies for an interesting list of things that happened on August 5ths.
Oh, and Ramzi Yousef's trial began on August 5, 1997, too.
