Carlos the Jackal, the Venezuelan terrorist who is serving two life sentences, has been handed a third by a French court. Real name, Ilich Ramirez Sanchez, he is now 67, he was born into a wealthy Venezuelan family, studied in Moscow before joining the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine. He converted to Islam in 1975 [what a surprise – but of course his activities have absolutely nothing to do with Islam].
When his latest trial began in early March, he said that any killings he had committed had been carried out in the name of "the revolution" and condemned "scavenging" lawyers [not sure why he brought LeagalEagle into this] and "Zionist interests".
"No-one has executed more people than me in the Palestinian resistance," he said, "and I am the only survivor. In all the fighting, there were collateral victims, it's unfortunate."
Once the world's most wanted fugitive, he was captured by elite French police in the Sudanese capital Khartoum in 1994.
He had earned a reputation as a Marxist militant who had masterminded deadly bomb attacks, assassinations and hostage-takings.
Ramirez was dubbed Carlos the Jackal by the press, named after the fictional assassin in the 1971 Frederick Forsyth novel, The Day of the Jackal, which was turned into a popular film. A copy was found among his belongings.
I expect Corbyn will be issuing a statement saying he was a great family man or something similar. Now I can’t wait for the string of posts from the usual suspects telling us how this Islamic Marxist terrorist is misunderstood and it is all the fault of the Zionists and the West.

We have now sunk to a depth at which the restatement of the obvious is the first duty of intelligent men. [Orwell]

Many times I suspect.

I reckon if Hedgehog or Hrolf had been born the other side of The Bosphorous they would be at the top of a Minaret calling their flock to prayer five times a day.

They are just so damned fanatical about their beliefs

Yep. Kermie is the only one of us to have been on the receiving end of her barbed tongue.

I can only go on the information supplied.
