This group is mentioned in the article. Could someone please make that into a link?72.95.130.125 (talk) 16:04, 27 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

"A French judge issued a national arrest warrant against Carlos for murdering two Paris policemen at Rue Toullier in 1979. The warrant allowed the French government to avoid the lengthy process of applying to Interpol for an extradition order.

He was charged with the 1975 murders of the two Paris policemen..."

1975 or 1979? Looks like it should be 1975 but should be consistent and have a source — Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.152.71.244 (talk) 03:32, 28 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please remove "TGV" from this sentence. The train in question was an express, but not a TGV. Pmaguire (talk) 13:40, 13 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The article contains this sentence:

Ilyich attended a high school in Liceo Fermin Toro of Caracas

This wording is very strange. Liceo Fermin Toro is the name of the school (liceo is Castillan for high school). But the wording makes it sound like the school is a locality within Caracas. But maybe there is something else going on which is equally opaque. 203.221.126.246 (talk) 05:36, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Done I changed it to Ilyich attended high school at Liceo Fermin Toro [es] in Caracas. Peaceray (talk) 17:38, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
