The Chez Jo Goldenberg restaurant attack was a bombing and shooting attack on a Jewish restaurant in the Parisien district of Marais on 9 August 1982 carried out by the Palestinian militant Abu Nidal Organization, a group that splintered from PLO. Two assailants threw a grenade into the dining room, then rushed in and fired machine guns.[1] They killed six people, including two Americans, Ann Van Zanten, a curator at the Chicago Historical Society, and Grace Cutler,[2] and injured 22 others. Mrs. Van Zanten's husband, David, an art history professor at Northwestern University, was among the injured.[2] BusinessWeek later said it was "the heaviest toll suffered by Jews in France since World War II."[3][4] The restaurant closed in 2006 and former owner Jo Goldenberg died in 2014.[5]
Although the Abu Nidal Organization had long been suspected,[6][7] suspects from the group were only definitively identified 32 years after the attacks, in evidence given by two former Abu Nidal members granted anonymity by French judges.[8]
In December 2020 one of the suspects, Walid Abdulrahman Abou Zayed, was handed over to French police (at a Norwegian airport) and flown to France.[9][10][11] He is still in detention as of Q3 2022.[12][13]
