French anti-terrorist prosecutors announced the arrest on Thursday of Mahmoud Khader Abed Adra, a suspect alleged to have been behind a deadly 1982 attack on a Jewish restaurant in Paris. The arrest marks a significant development in a decades-old case. The attack on the Goldenberg restaurant in the Marais district was one of the deadliest anti-Semitic attacks in France's post-war history, killing six people and wounding 22. The investigation into the attack, long considered a cold case, has been revived by French authorities.
