## Bio

Ilich Ramírez Sánchez was born on 12 October 1949 in Venezuela and became a committed Marxist–Leninist operating under protection of the Stasi and KGB. After several failed bombings in the early 1970s, he commanded the 1975 raid on OPEC headquarters in Vienna that killed three people, then escaped with hostages on a plane to Libya. When his wife Magdalena Kopp was arrested by French authorities, he detonated bombs across France between the late 1970s and mid-1980s, killing 11 and wounding over 100 in an effort to force her release. Sudan delivered him to France through extrajudicial capture, where he was convicted in his first trial for the 1975 murders of a French informant and two counterintelligence agents. Two further convictions followed while imprisoned: a 2011 life sentence for attacks that killed 11 and injured 150, and a third life term in 2017.
