  • L'attentat du 20 mai 1978 à Orly est une tentative de tuerie de masse fomentée par des militants de la cause palestinienne dans le contexte du conflit israélo-palestinien. Survenue dans la zone d'embarquement de l'aérogare sud de l'aéroport d'Orly et ciblant spécifiquement les voyageurs à destination d'Israël, l'attaque échoue grâce à l'intervention des forces de sécurité qui se trouvent en sécurisation permanente sur le site. Cet attentat fait néanmoins deux morts parmi les policiers et cinq blessés, ainsi que les trois terroristes abattus. (fr)
