In 1995, the GIA islamist terror group staged a series of attacks against the French public, targeting public transportation.

On July 25, 1995, a gas bottle exploded in station Saint Michel of line B of the RER (Paris regional train network). 8 were killed and 200 wounded.

On October 6, 1995, a gas bottle exploded in station Maison Blanche of the Paris Métro. 16 were wounded.

On October 17, 1995, a gas bottle exploded in the Orsay station of RER line B. 30 were wounded.

A leader of the group, Khaled Kelkal, was identified. He was killed on September 29, 1995 by members of the EPIGN gendarmerie unit when allegedly resisting arrest.

Members of the groups have since been prosecuted for various charges.
