France, April 17 -- Hicham Harb, 72, was handed over on Thursday and detained on arrival near Paris. Anti-terror prosecutors are expected to formally notify him of the arrest warrant against him, the national anti-terrorist prosecution office said.

Harb is accused of helping coordinate the assault on the Jo Goldenberg restaurant on the Rue des Rosiers, in the heart of Paris's historic Jewish Marais district.

On 9 August 1982, a group of three to five men threw a grenade into the dining room before opening fire on customers, killing six people and wounding 22 others.

French prosecutors said Harb was transferred "in execution of an extradition request" issued in September 2025 and handed over to French judicial authorities on Thursday. ...
