PARIS (Reuters) - a French Court of sentenced extravagant Marxist militant Carlos the Jackal to another life sentence on Thursday for the bomb attacks, 11 people nearly three decades ago killed.
The Venezuelan defendant, 62, whose real name is Ilich Ramirez Sanchez, is for almost 20 years in the service one life sentence in a separate case for the murder of two policemen and an informant in Paris was closed in 1975 in France.
Conviction Ramirez, an additional life term Pariser Hof, special terrorism consists of seven judges said he should serve at least 18 years in prison.
The ruling could back to push the date on which it can be used for the conditional release, set for 2012.
Defense lawyers called the decision a scandal and said that a complaint would take their customers.
Ramirez masterminding slain accused four separate attacks in France on two trains, a train station and a Parisian Street, the 11 people and wounded almost 200.
Prosecutors, said that the bombings were seizure of two of his gang, including his mistress, his response to the police and had argued that he remained a danger to the public.
Earlier on Thursday Ramirez treated the Court in one - according to one important wanted international criminal - five hour monologue, alternately walking, vitriolic and poignant, called himself "living martyrs" to defend his innocence.
Ramirez, a self-dubbed "elite Schütze," appeared in resignation to a guilty verdict. Death in prison, he said once, "Is the role of a revolutionary."
"I am in prison... sentenced in pre-decided case," he told the Court his voice in volume increases.
SHADES OF CHE GUEVARA
Ramirez, a colorful figure can be seen at the height of his fame from his Che Guevara-style beret, sunglasses and Havana cigars, sealed his fame in a bloody hostage-taking of OPEC oil Ministers in 1975.
During the cold war was previously caught support by Eastern bloc and the Middle East, staging attacks across Europe for more than two decades in the Sudan in 1994.
During the six-week trial Ramirez appeared more like a master of ceremonies as a defendant, speaking through loudspeakers, suspend judges, lawyers to correct and occasionally wrapping well out of his cage respondent.
He denied any specific involvement in four bombings in 1982 and 1983 at a Parisian Street, two trains and a Marseille train station that injured nearly 200 people and 11 dead links. Prosecutors say the bombings Ramirez were the answer to the police seizure of two of his gang, including his beloved.
"There is nothing... me connect with these four attacks," he told the Court, a 0 (zero) characters with his thumb and forefinger.
Wove Ramirez the history smile after history, often as a modern Scheherazade and grow nostalgic over former comrades and sometimes turn fiery to rail on the system.
His relentless discourse touches on a variety of topics, from prison life Zionist strategy, Soviet passports, the French State, hashish, and even the death penalty.
Ramirez broke his powerful voice range when at the end of his speech, he read what he said was the last will of fallen Libyan leader Muammar al-Gaddafi.
"I continue the fight," he read from the text before the crash, to overcome with emotions. A group of about a dozen young people in the courtroom audience raised their fists in the air, screamed encouragement for Ramirez.
"Salam alaikum" or "Peace be with you," said Ramirez, to Islam in prison, before a final fist in the air on the amount converted.
MAN OF KAMPFES
Accused of being a gun for hire by his opponents and a cold-blooded killer of former cohort witnessed against him, put Ramirez on the first day of the procedure as "Revolutionary occupation."
Why no one ever was arrested in France for the attacks he questions cast itself as a convenient scapegoat. He and his lawyers said that the evidence for unreliable witnesses and photocopies of documents from Eastern European secret service archives was based.
Clearly, enjoy a fondness for betting stories in the spotlight, Ramirez indicated, different citing a cast of historical and modern State by Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez and Soviet leader Stalin of to former French President Jacques Chirac, and mentioned in its guilty verdict given in the same courthouse earlier in the day.
He said the Court considers the right way, a 9-millimeter pistol, correction of the public prosecutor know how many balls to load as a weapon.
"You not really a man of struggle," he said.
Prosecutors had argued, Ramirez remains a public danger and demanded he be sentenced to an additional gets life term and serve at least 18 years old.
