French court orders release of Lebanese militant held since 1984

A French court has ordered the release of pro-Palestinian Lebanese militant Georges Ibrahim Abdallah, imprisoned for 40 years for killing two foreign diplomats, with his release set for December 6 on the condition he leaves France. Abdallah, a former member of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), was convicted in 1987 for the murders of a US military attache and an Israeli diplomat, despite his claims of being a fighter for Palestinian rights. This decision marks his 11th bid for release and has sparked support from the far left and communists in France.
