On 20 October 1981, a truck bomb exploded outside a Portuguese Jewish synagogue in the centre of Antwerp, Belgium, in the diamond district of Antwerp. The explosion took place shortly after 9:00 AM on a Tuesday morning, a few minutes before Simchat Torah religious services were to begin. Three people were killed and 106 wounded.

㉓ Reviewed in the sweep
The 1981 Antwerp synagogue bombing killed three people and wounded 106 outside a Portuguese Jewish synagogue. Through 2010 the opening called it an October 20, 1981 truck bomb terror attack outside a Portuguese Jewish synagogue. Today the opening says only that a truck bomb exploded outside the synagogue, with terror surviving six times elsewhere in the article. A reader today learns a truck bomb exploded at a synagogue, not that it was described as a terror attack.
