(Ynet) Dr. Hassan Diab, a Lebanese terrorist with Canadian citizenship, who was convicted in a French court and sentenced to life imprisonment for his involvement in a terrorist attack on a synagogue in Paris 44 years ago, accepted a teaching position at a prestigious university in Canada and will lecture on “social justice in action.”
The attack took place on Friday, October 3, 1980, when a bomb planted in the side bag of a motorcycle exploded outside the entrance to the Rue Copernic synagogue, a Reform synagogue in the prestigious 16th arrondissement of Paris. Israeli television presenter Aliza Shagrir and three other bystanders were killed in the attack. Another 20 people were injured.
