Zuhair Mohamad Hassan Khalid al-Abassi, alias “Amjad Atta” was one of three men for whom France issued an international arrest warrant earlier this year.
He was arrested in Jordan on Wednesday, though further details remain unknown.
The other two men suspected to have been involved in the attack have been named as Mahmoud Khader Abed Adra alias “Hicham Harb”, 59, who lives in Ramallah in the West Bank, and Walid Abdulrahman Abu Zayed, alias “Souhail Othman”, 56, in Norway.
The attack began around midday on August 9th, 1982 when a grenade was thrown into the busy restaurant in the Marais district, a popular and largely Jewish neighbourhood in the centre of Paris.
Two men then entered the restaurant, which had around 50 customers inside, and opened fire with machine guns.
Overall, between three and five men are thought to have taken part in the attack, which was blamed on the Abu Nidal Organisation, a Palestinian militant group.
