1982 Paris Attack Suspect Arrested in Jordan
(AFP) Zuhair Mohamad Hassan Khalid al-Abassi, alias "Amjad Atta," was one of three men for whom France issued an international arrest warrant earlier this year over a 1982 attack on the Chez Jo Goldenberg restaurant in Paris that killed six people and wounded 22. He was detained in Jordan on June 1 and later released on bail. The attack was blamed on the Abu Nidal organization, a Palestinian militant group. A Jordanian source close to the case said on Thursday, "Jordan does not usually extradite its citizens to other countries."
