Carlos the Jackal

Ilich Ramírez Sánchez, a Venezuelan activist who fought with the Palestinians in Jordan, carries out a series of terrorist attacks in London. He moves to Paris, under the orders of a Lebanese terrorist, Michel Moukharbal, "André".

At the head of a group of six activists, leftists from the German Revolutionary Cells, and Palestinian activists including Anis Naccache, Carlos takes control of the OPEC building, where he takes hostage the ministers and their accompanying delegations.

Carlos’ group, settled in Budapest and protected by Syria, builds relationships with various clients interested in their specific know-how: among them, Ceausescu’s Romania and Libya.
