A Lebanese-Canadian academic who is the lone suspect in a 1980 bombing outside a Paris synagogue will go on trial Monday, nearly 43 years after four people were killed and 46 wounded in the unclaimed attack.
FILE - A police officer walks at the scene after the bombing of the Copernic street synagogue, in Paris, that killed 4 people on This Oct. 3, 1980. A Lebanese-Canadian academic and lone suspect in a 1980 bombing outside a Paris synagogue will go on trial Monday April 3, 2023, nearly 43 years after four people were killed and dozens wounded in the unclaimed attack.
French investigators attributed the synagogue attack to the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine-Special Operations. Canada authorized Diab’s extradition to France at the end of 2014. He spent three years in pretrial detention but anti-terrorism judges then ordered him freed from French custody due to a lack of evidence, and he returned to Canada.
“It's a grave abomination for justice and for the victims 43 years after the events,” Chambre added. Diab's lawyer William Bourdon said his client had “never fled” anything.
