Carlos the Jackal, the Venezuelan man behind a series of attacks in France in the 1970s and 80s, is on trial again over a deadly shopping centre attack.
He is already serving two life terms for several killings in the name of Palestinian and communist causes.
Carlos, whose real name is Ilich Ramirez Sanchez, was given his nickname when he was one of the world's most wanted terror suspects. He spent years on the run before being captured in 1994 in Sudan.
What is the case?
Ramirez, 67, will appear before three judges in a Paris court on Monday over a hand grenade attack on a shopping centre in the French capital's Latin Quarter in September 1974. Two people were killed and 34 others were injured in the attack. Ramirez has pleaded not guilty and his lawyer, Isabelle Coutant-Peyre, said the trial was a waste of time and money.
