Said Al Nasr (alt. Said al-Nasser; Nassar Saeed, Arabic: سعيد النصر) was a Syrian Palestinian known for carrying out the 28 July 1980 Antwerp summer camp attack, in which he attacked a group of 40 Jewish children waiting with their families for a bus to take them to summer camp with hand grenades. One boy was killed, and eight others were seriously wounded.

Background[edit]

Al Nasr was born in 1955. He was convicted in Belgium in 1980, for throwing two hand grenades into a group of Jewish children waiting for a businAntwerp on July 27, 1980.[1][2] He was carrying a Moroccan passport at the time of his arrest.[3]

In the Silco incident, the Belgian government "traded" the jailed Said Al Nasr for members of the family Houtekins-Kets in 1990, a Belgian-French family kidnapped in Libya — a demand of the Abu Nidal militant group.[4][5]
