Several hundred people gathered in the heart of Paris’ Jewish quarter Thursday in silent tribute to the victims of a terrorist attack eight years ago. Eight customers and passersby were killed in the attack.
Anonymous Parisians were joined by curious tourists visiting the colorful neighborhood near the center of the French capital, which is widely known as the “Pletzl.”
On Aug. 9, 1982, terrorists believed members of the notorious Abu Nidal gang machine-gunned the Jo Goldenberg restaurant, an internationally popular kosher eatery on the Rue des Rosiers.
