(Jewish Group) In the '80s, French secret service promised not to pursue Palestinian terrorists

In the ’80s, French secret service promised not to pursue Palestinian terrorists who killed Jews in Paris

France agreed not to target Palestinian terrorists who killed French Jews in Paris in 1982 if they refrained from carrying out further attacks on French soil, a former top spy revealed.

Yves Bonnet, who headed the now-defunct DST service in the 1980s, made the assertion in January to a judge investigating the 1982 attack in which six people were murdered and 22 injured at a kosher restaurant on Rosiers Street, Le Parisien reported Thursday.

The suspects in the attack on the Jo Goldberg deli are wanted for questioning per a 2015 French arrest warrant. One of the suspects lives in Jordan, another near Ramallah in the West Bank and a third in Norway, according to the CRIF umbrella group of French Jewish communities.

None of the relevant governments have agreed to extradite the suspects, whom French investigators believe belonged to the Abu Nidal terrorist group, which splintered in 1974 from Fatah.
