The 1991 Budapest Airport bus bombing

A bus transporting Jewish emigrants from Russia to Israel was the target of a terrorist attack near Budapest Airport. The convoy was traveling with a police escort at both the front and rear. As the vehicles reached a point approximately 150 meters from the airport parking entrance, a parked car was detonated. It was a matter of split-second timing: had the explosion occurred just a fraction of a second earlier, it would have scored a direct hit on the bus. Because of this slight delay, the blast instead struck the rear police escort and the back of the bus, resulting in several injuries. While investigators initially suspected Palestinian militant groups, the truth surfaced years later. The attack was actually carried out by Horst Ludwig Meyer and Andrea Klump, individuals linked to the notorious German far-left militant group, the Red Army Faction (RAF).
