Am from PR so I was already familiar with the story. I think it's definitely worth noting that the PFLP had nothing to do with this attack, except for one member who more or less went rogue.

Good to know. I just learned about it today, mostly from NATOpedia.
My brainrot actually left me familiar with this incident, though I think they also used a couple of grenades. For some reason the communist movement movement there just loved doing dumb terror attacks, because this isn't the only time even if it was the biggest one in terms of international reception.
They did also use grenades.
One of the organization's founders later said she felt like they turned to these international terror attacks because the left's lack of success domestically made them feel desperate, and that as radical students they probably should've just gone back home to their communities and advocated for their beliefs. The classic, "I'm ready to die for the revolution! But talking to people? No thanks!"
