The World's Most Wanted Terrorist Executed 3 Men in a Paris CafeAdded:
Did you know the world's most wanted terrorist once walked into a crowded Paris cafe and calmly executed three men in broad daylight? [music] His name was Carlos the Jackal and for 30 years he turned international terrorism into a deadly business. [music] Born Ilich Ramirez Sanchez in Venezuela, he became the ultimate assassin for hire selling his services to anyone willing to pay. His signature move? Brazen attacks in the middle of the day. He murdered Israeli athletes at the Olympics, bombed [music] packed restaurants and once kidnapped 11 oil ministers during a high stakes meeting.
Between jobs, Carlos lived like a millionaire [music] playboy funding his lavish lifestyle with blood money. The French intelligence service spent decades hunting him across Europe and the Middle East. He changed identities like clothing slipping [music] through their fingers again and again. But in 1994, they finally cornered him in Sudan.
>> [music] >> The operation was surgical. French agents quietly surrounded his safe house and captured the world's most elusive killer [music] without firing a single shot. After three decades of terror, Carlos the Jackal's reign finally ended.
