Paris, July 17 (AP)
A French court has ordered the conditional release of Georges Ibrahim Abdallah, a Lebanese pro-Palestinian communist militant, after more than four decades in detention.
Abdallah was serving a life sentence for his involvement in the 1982 murders of two diplomats in Paris—one American and one Israeli.
First arrested in 1984, Abdallah has been incarcerated in France for nearly 39 years.
The Paris Court of Appeal has ruled that Abdallah is eligible for release, contingent upon him leaving France and never returning. His release is scheduled for next Friday, according to judicial authorities.
