Killing of Ami Shachori
On 18 September 1972, a letter bomb mailed from Amsterdam to the Israeli embassy in London killed Dr. Ami Y. Shachori, the Israeli agriculture attaché at the Israeli embassies in the United Kingdom and Scandinavia. Theodor Kaddar, Shachori's designated replacement, was injured in the blast. Shachori had been in London since 1968. His role at the embassy was to promote Israeli agricultural products. He was a soil expert and a graduate of the University of California and the Hebrew University in Jerusalem.
