Lebanese militant Anis Naccache, an accomplice of the notorious Carlos the Jackal, died Monday of coronavirus in a Damascus hospital at the age of 70, Syrian state media said.
Naccache took part in the 1975 OPEC conference hostage-taking in Vienna.
Hailing him as a “thinker and freedom fighter”, the official SANA news agency said he was “admitted into intensive care two days ago… because his health deteriorated as a result of Covid-19”.
Authorities will repatriate his remains for burial in Lebanon, said the pro-Damascus Al-Mayadeen television channel.
Naccache was jailed in France for leading an attempted assassination of Iran’s former prime minister Shahpur Bakhtiar in Paris in 1980.
