A bomb kills four at a Paris synagogue. Did police arrest the wrong guy?
Manage episode 473021169 series 3521609
On Oct. 3, 1980, a bomb exploded outside the Rue Copernic synagogue in Paris, killing four people and injuring 46.
The attack sparked outrage and protests against anti-semitic violence. But as weeks turned to years, the investigation went nowhere.
Finally, French investigators named Hassan Diab, a Lebanese-Canadian professor, as its main suspect. 28 years years after the attack, Diab was charged and extradited from Canada to France. But did the police arrest the right person?
