formally recognise <\/a>a Palestinian state on Monday before the annual leaders’ gathering at the UN General Assembly – a move strongly contested by Israel and many French Jews.<\/p>\nAdra is suspected of leading the assault and operating as one of the gunmen who shot at diners. <\/p>\n
To date, no one has been punished for the attack, which took place on the busy Rue des Rosiers on 9 August 1982 in the predominantly Jewish Marais quarter.<\/p>\n
In July, French judges ordered the trial of six people, including Adra, for murder and assault in a special terrorism court for the historic attack.<\/p>\n
Another suspect, Abu Zayed, is in custody in France having been extradited from Norway, along with another suspect. Three other suspects are still at large, believed to be hiding in Jordan and the West Bank.<\/p>\n
A trial is expected early next year, with three of the six defendants expected to be present and the others tried in absentia. <\/p>\n
Adra is believed to have been a member of dissident Palestinian faction the Abu Nidal group, which was active in the 1970s and 80s.<\/p>\n
The group split from Yasser Arafat’s Palestine Liberation Organisation and is blamed for a series of violent attacks across the world that killed at least 900 people. <\/p>\n
Macron added in his tweet: “France does not forget. It always enforces and punishes. Justice will prevail.”<\/p>\n
Yohann Ta\u00efeb, a spokesman for some of the victims of the attack, said on X that it was a “significant step” and urged Macron to secure Adra’s extradition “as quickly as possible”.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"“We are working together to ensure his swift extradition,” he added.
