The 1991 Budapest Airport bus bombing

On 23 December 1991, a bus carrying Jewish emigrants from Russia to Israel was targeted in a terrorist attack near the Budapest airport. The convoy, accompanied by a police escort, was about 150 meters from the entrance to the airport parking lot when a parked car exploded. Both the bus and the police car bringing up the rear of the convoy had already passed the bomb when the detonation occurred. The force of the explosion pushed the police car into the rear of the bus: both vehicles caught fire, and the police officers sitting in the car behind the bus suffered serious injuries. Four of the passengers on the bus sustained minor injuries. While investigators initially suspected Palestinian militant groups, it emerged years later that the attack had in fact been carried out by Horst Ludwig Meyer and Andrea Klump, who were linked to the notorious German far-left militant group, the Red Army Faction (RAF).
