PARIS: Carlos the Jackal calls his murder trial a "judicial farce." Indeed, the anti-Bond seems intent on engineering just that result. In court Monday:

  • Carlos blames the killings on Israel spies and French police. He demands an immediate end to the trial.

  • The judge refuses. Carlos's lawyers quit in protest; Carlos defends himself for the remainder of the day. His main legal tactic seems to consist of shouting "You have no right to be here" to the judge.
