Jean-Marie Bastien-Thiry was a French Air Force lieutenant colonel, military air-weaponry engineer and the creator of the Nord SS.10/SS.11 missiles. Bastien-Thiry and multiple colleagues attempted to assassinate French president Charles de Gaulle in the Petit-Clamart attack of 22 August 1962 in retaliation for de Gaulle's decision to accept Algerian independence. Bastien-Thiry remains the most recent person to be executed by firing squad in France.
