The Rue de Rennes bombing took place on 17 September 1986, when a handmade bomb planted by Hezbollah militants detonated outside of the Le Point Headquarters Building and Tati Store, both located at 140 Rue de Rennes. The attack killed seven people and injured a further 55. The attack was organized by Fouad Saleh, who had carried out numerous bombings in Paris in the months prior.
