Carlos the Jackal Secret agents 'tricked terrorist into flight from Prague'

In June 1986, a pair of operatives from communist Czechoslovakia's StB intelligence service made contact with a mysterious couple staying at a Prague hotel. The man's passport identified him as a Syrian diplomat called Walid Wattar; his pregnant wife also had a Syrian diplomatic passport.

He was with his wife, Magdalena Kopp, recently released from a French prison.
