(Jerusalem Post) Mathilda Heller - Dr. Hassan Diab, a Lebanese terrorist, was convicted by a French court over his involvement in a 1980 bombing that killed four Jews and injured 46 people outside the Rue Copernic synagogue in Paris. Diab fled to Canada, was arrested in 2008, and was extradited to France in 2014.
