Carlos the Jackal Fast Facts

A Paris court convicted the Venezuelan-born terrorist known as Carlos the Jackal on Thursday of organizing four deadly attacks in France in the 1980s and sentenced him to life in prison — again. Carlos, whose real name is Ilich Ramirez Sanchez, is already serving a life sentence in a French prison for a triple murder in 1975. France does not have the death penalty.

The flamboyant former gun-for-hire and self-proclaimed revolutionary returned to court last month to face charges he instigated four attacks in France in 1982 and 1983 that killed 11 people and injured more than 140 others.
