From hijacking planes and taking hostages to assassinating businessmen and planting bombs, he was one of the 20th century's most prolific terrorists.
Throughout the 1970s, Venezuelan-born Ilich Ramírez Sánchez, alias “Carlos the Jackal,” waged a campaign of terror and violence in the name of Palestinian liberation and communism.
Hunted by Israel, France, the United States, and many others, he was finally captured after a 20-year career of assassination, hostage-taking, extortion, and terrorism. Over the years, he took credit for at least 80 murders and seemed to relish in his blood-soaked fame.
This is the story of how one of the world’s most dangerous and determined terrorists went from taking hostages and taking lives to serving a life sentence.
