Mastermind in 1982 attack freed on bail

Jordan says the suspected mastermind of an attack on a Paris Jewish restaurant in 1982 that killed six people and wounded 22 has been released on bail in Jordan but banned from traveling out of the country.

Official sources say Zuhair Mohamad Hassan Khalid al-Abassi, alias “Amjad Atta,” was arrested on June 1 under an international arrest warrant. A court imposed a travel ban pending a decision on whether he will be extradited, an official source tells AFP, speaking on condition of anonymity.
