Palestinians hand over suspect in 1982 attack on Jewish restaurant in Paris

The Rue des Rosiers attack was blamed on a Palestinian splinter group founded by notorious militant Abu Nidal, who was shot dead in Iraq in 2002. Nidal’s organisation broke away from the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) and was blamed for a string of deadly attacks that claimed 900 lives, mostly in the 1980s, including assassinations, plane hijackings and shootings at airports and on a Greek cruise ship.
