CARACAS, Venezuela — Venezuela's Communist Party urged the government on Monday to seek the repatriation of convicted terrorist "Carlos the Jackal," who is serving a life sentence in France for murder.
...
Ramirez is serving a life sentence for the 1975 murders in Paris of two French investigators and Michel Moukharbal, a Lebanese man who was an informant for the French government.
He also has been blamed for a series of Cold War-era bombings, assassinations and hostage dramas, including the 1976 hijacking of an Air France jet en route to Uganda. He has testified that he led a 1975 attack that killed three people at the OPEC headquarters in Vienna, Austria. Venezuela's then-oil minister, Valentin Hernandez Acosta, was one of the 70 hostage seized by the attackers and later freed in Algeria.
...
Venezuela's government has questioned whether Ramirez's rights were violated when he was abducted and whisked away to France.
