André Olivier
André Olivier was a former French teacher turned militant who became a prominent figure in the radical leftist group Action directe. His arrest on March 28, 1986, in Lyon, revealed his involvement in a series of violent acts, including bombings aimed at anti-apartheid causes. Olivier had previously been under surveillance by authorities due to his connections with radical anti-capitalist movements, and his capture underscored the complexity of the domestic terrorism landscape in France during that era.
