Lawyers quit as Jackal trial resumes with self defense
Carlos the Jackal, real name Wich Ramirez Sanchez, claims CIA and Mossad killed the victims as his trial proceeds after his lawyers quit in protest over a refused request for a new investigation. The court briefly suspended proceedings, then resumed with the defense team absent. The judge ordered the lawyers to stay, but they left, risking disciplinary action under French law. The trial focuses on 1975 killings of two French intelligence agents and a Lebanese colleague.
