Parisian Jews on Tuesday marked the sixth anniversary of the attack against Jo Goldenberg, the Jewish restaurant at which six persons were killed and 22 wounded by terrorists on Aug. 9, 1982.
Jewish leaders and residents of the area of the Marais, the traditional Jewish neighborhood of Paris, commemorated the bloody event so “that we shall never forget,” Theo Klein, president of the Representative Council of Major French Jewish Organizations said at the memorial assembly on the Rue des Rosiers.
Up until now, intensive searches by police have failed to turn up the identities of the machine gun-wielding terrorists, whose brutal assault against Paris’ most famous Jewish restaurant marked a new turning point in anti-Jewish terrorist activity.
The terrorists are widely believed to be members of the Abu Nidal terrorist group.
