Description

Walid Jamal Balkiz worked at the Jordanian Embassy. At around 3 pm on 29 December 1983, he left the embassy building at 41, Calle General Martínez Campos, to return home with a Jordanian colleague, Ibrahime Subhi Mohamed Mamid. The two men got into Walid Jamal Balkiz’s car. When they stopped at a Yield sign at No. 84, Calle García de Paredes, to turn onto Calle Zurbano, an individual armed with a submachine gun walked up to the driver’s window and opened fire on the two occupants. Most of the 15 gunshots hit Walid Jamal Balkiz, who was driving the car, two in the head, and he was killed instantly. His companion dropped to the floor and managed to survive the attack, but he was seriously wounded by several bullets in the arms and collarbone.
