Mohamed Boudia

Mohamed Boudia (24 February 1932[1] – 28 June 1973) was an Algerian poet and a senior member of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP).

At the time of his assassination, Boudia was the Chief of PFLP operations in Europe.

[3] Boudia had participated in the Algerian War, during which he was jailed for an attack on a petrol depot in southern France.

The end of the war and Algerian independence in 1962 led to his release, after spending three years in prison.

He fled to France after Houari Boumediène seized power in June 1965 and ran a theatre in Paris, whilst collaborating with figures such as Carlos the Jackal.
