Christophe Caze (October 22, 1969 – March 29, 1996), a former medical student in France, was one of France's foremost terrorists.
He traveled to Bosnia in 1992 to practise medicine, and worked in a Zenica hospital.[1]
Returning to France, he led a group of mostly Algerian terrorists, based in Roubaix, France on a spree of robbing banks, armoured cars and shops - before they were raided at their apartment after police discovered a bomb inside a Peugeot three blocks from the 1996 G7 meeting. Although Caze escaped the initial raid, he was shot trying to ram a police checkpoint the following day, in Belgium.
His address book was found to contain the contact information for Fateh Kamel, an Algerian living in Canada suspected of militant ties.[2]
