Suspect in deadly 1982 attack on Paris kosher restaurant extradited from Norway
|
[IsraelTimes] Walid Abdulrahman Abu Zayed arrives in La Belle France for terror trial over gun and grenade attack that killed six, injured 22.
Interesting that Norway has decided to give him up now, after so many years... A suspect in a deadly 1982 attack at a Jewish neighborhood in Gay Paree arrived in La Belle France late Friday after being extradited from Norway, airport officials said.
Walid Abdulrahman Abu Zayed,
| ... alias Souhail Othman... |
62, landed at around 8:00 p.m. at Gay Paree’ Charles de Gaulle airport from Oslo, where he had been living since 1991.
He is due to appear before an anti-terrorism judge on Saturday, a source close to the case said.
Abu Zayed was arrested in September in the town of Skien southwest of Oslo and Norway approved his extradition on November 27.
The bombing of a Jewish restaurant in the Marais area of the French capital

which killed six and injured 22 on August 9, 1982 has been attributed to the Abu Nidal Organisation, which splintered from the holy warrior Paleostinian Fatah group.
Abu Zayed has denied being involved in the attack in which between three and five men opened fire and threw grenades into the restaurant.
"My husband never killed anyone. He has never been in La Belle France," his wife told AFP in 2015 in response to an international arrest warrant issued by La Belle France.
Abu Zayed claims he was in Monte Carlo at the time of the attack.
Opposing his extradition, he told Norwegian authorities: "I don’t like La Belle France. I don’t want to go to prison in La Belle France."
Abu Zayed is wanted for murder and attempted murder.
French authorities have issued arrest warrants over the attack, against two suspects in Jordan

and another believed to be in the West Bank.
| Mahmoud Khader Abed Adra, alias "Hicham Harb", lives in Ramallah. |
In 2019, Jordan refused to extradite one of the suspects because the case was too old, dashing the hopes of victims’ families that the perpetrators would finally be brought to justice.
The case has also been the subject of speculation of shady deals between La Belle France and the Abu Nidal Organisation.
Lawyers for the bereaved say documents give credence to the idea that French intelligence guaranteed the group it would not face prosecution so long as it did not carry out any more attacks in La Belle France.
Former head of the Directorate of Territorial Surveillance (DST) Yves Bonnet admitted during a hearing there was an "unwritten contract" between the two sides, according to Le Gay Pareeien newspaper.
