A review of the Canadaland podcast 'The Copernic Affair', which investigates the 1980 bombing of a synagogue in Paris and the subsequent trial of Hassan Diab, a Canadian professor accused of planting the bomb.
On October 3 1980, there was an explosion on a quiet street in Paris. A bomb placed on a motorcycle had exploded by a synagogue on the Rue Copernic in the city’s 16th arrondissement. Four people died and 46 were hurt, many of them sustaining life-changing injuries. It was the first targeted attack on the Jewish community on French soil since the second world war. Yet in the months and years that followed, no group claimed responsibility, and no one was convicted for this act of terrorism.
Their work here is diligent and detailed, presenting a story packed with so many twists you may want to take notes to keep up. After bingeing on all six episodes in a day, my immediate impulse was to go back and start again to see what I might have missed. Ballout and Atack’s coup lies in landing lengthy interviews with two figures at the heart of the case.
