A French court has ordered six suspected Palestinian militants to face trial for a 1982 attack at the Jo Goldenberg restaurant in Paris, which killed six people and injured 22 others. This incident is recognized as the deadliest antisemitic attack in France since World War II. While several suspects are believed to be abroad, they will likely face trial in absentia. The alleged ringleader, Mohamed Souhair al-Abassi, currently resides in Jordan, which has refused to extradite him, hindering the trial process. Investigative judges continue to pursue the case.
