September 1982 Paris car bombing
Terrorist attack in Paris (1982) / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
On 17 September 1982 a car bomb exploded near Lycée Carnot in Paris, France, injuring 51 people.[1] The attack was claimed by the Lebanese Armed Revolutionary Factions (FARL) in the context of anti-Israeli terrorism. The attack was not fatal, though most of the wounded were Carnot students. The bomb exploded in the car of Amos Manel, an Israeli diplomat, a Peugeot 504. The FARL had previously committed the assassinations of American lieutenant colonel Charles R. Ray in January[2] and that of Israeli diplomat Yacov Barsimantov in April, both of whom were shot dead in Paris,[3] amongst other attacks - some of which were done with the assistance of the Action Directe group. The attack happened on the eve of Rosh Hashanah and a few months after the Israeli invasion of Lebanon.[4]
