Carlos the Jackal Goes to Trial


(AP) Elaine Ganley - On Monday, Venezuelan-born Ilich Ramirez Sanchez, 62, known as Carlos the Jackal, went on trial in France for four deadly bombings in that country in 1982 and 1983 that killed 11 people and injured 140. Carlos is also the chief suspect in the 1976 Palestinian hijacking of a French jetliner to Entebbe, Uganda, which ended with an Israeli commando raid.
