French anti-terrorism prosecutor to appeal against Lebanese militant’s release
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe office of France’s anti-terrorism prosecutor says it will appeal against a French court’s decision to grant the release of a Lebanese militant jailed for attacks on US and Israeli diplomats in France in the early 1980s.
PNAT says Georges Ibrahim Abdallah, a former head of the Lebanese Armed Revolutionary Brigade, would be released on December 6 under the court’s decision on condition that he leave France and not return.
Abdallah was given a life sentence in 1987 for his role in the murders of US diplomat Charles Ray in Paris and Israeli diplomat Yacov Barsimantov in 1982, and in the attempted murder of US Consul General Robert Homme in Strasbourg in 1984.
