Attack on the synagogue

9 oct. 1982·Rome

Toll
1

The toll is reproduced exactly as the source states it — never rounded, never added to another. Tolls overlap from one event to the next.

À la sortie de l'office de Simhat Torah, au moment où les familles gagnent le parvis avec les enfants, un commando lance des grenades et ouvre le feu devant la Grande Synagogue de Rome, sur le Lungotevere. Un enfant de deux ans est tué ; des dizaines de personnes sont blessées.

L'attentat, attribué au groupe d'Abou Nidal, frappe la plus ancienne communauté d'Europe occidentale, établie au même endroit depuis l'Antiquité et gardant le souvenir de la rafle du ghetto. Il avait été précédé d'une campagne de presse d'une rare violence, que la communauté rappela dans son deuil en refusant les condoléances officielles.
