Carlos, a Venezuelan whose real name is Ilich Ramirez Sanchez, will appear before a panel of magistrates for a trial expected to last six weeks.

The 62-year-old is already serving a life sentence in France for the murder of two policemen in 1975. He was captured by French special forces in Sudan in 1994. By the time of his capture, he had earned global notoriety as a mastermind of fatal bomb attacks, assassinations and hostage-takings.
