Said Al Nasr

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Said Al Nasr (born 1955) is a Syrian Palestinian, convicted in Belgium in 1980, for throwing two hand grenades into a group of Jewish children waiting for a bus in Antwerp on July 27, 1980.

A 15-year old boy was killed, twenty others were (heavily) wounded. The jailed Said Al Nasr was 'traded' for part of the family Houtekins-Kets in 1990, a Belgian-French family kidnapped in Libya, a demand of the Abu Nidal terrorist group (Silco incident).
