The Chez Jo Goldenberg restaurant attack was a bombing and shooting attack on a Jewish restaurant in Paris's Marais district, on 9 August 1982 carried out by the Abu Nidal Organization , a group that splintered from Fatah . Two assailants threw a grenade into the dining room, then rushed in and fired machine guns. They killed six people, including two Americans, and injured 22 others.
