| Ramirez sowed fear across Europe and the Middle East during the Cold War |
A Paris court has convicted a Venezuelan-born man known as "Carlos the Jackal" of organising four deadly attacks in France in the 1980s and sentenced him to life in prison again.
Carlos, whose real name is Ilich Ramirez Sanchez, is already serving a life sentence in a French prison for a triple murder in 1975.
The former gun-for-hire and self-proclaimed revolutionary returned to court last month to face charges he instigated attacks in France in 1982 and 1983.
Ramirez, 62, was accused of masterminding four separate attacks on two trains, a train station, and a Paris street that killed 11 people and wounded nearly 200.
The court on Thursday found him guilty on all four counts, and sentenced him to life in prison with possibility of parole after 18 years.
