Good afternoon, all. Once again, I have changed the header at the top of the blog. And I have some questions to ask about the famous international terrorists pictured both here, and in the new header.
Here are the contest rules: The first student with a correct answer to any of these questions gets a brownie point. Students answering more than one question are disqualified from the contest. All answers must come in comments appended to this post. Good luck!
Questions:
1. What is the (full) name this man was born with?
2. In what country was he born?
3. What was his nomme de guerre?
4. What is the title of the novel from which he got his famous moniker?
5. What is the (full) name of the terrorist group with which he was associated in the early 1970s?
6. Where does he currently reside, and why?

Scott, one Brownie Point.
He is now serving a life sentence in Clairvaux Prison in northeast France. Do you want to know why he's in the jail or how he got there. He was prosecuted for "killings and destruction of property using explosive substances" in France in 1982 and 1983. In addition to those killed, more than 100 people were injured.He got there because he underwent surgery, was moved to a "safe" place, and was then arrested.
One point for Heather. And the contest ends! Thanks for playing, everyone!
