Meka 40 years athi case ekak, ethakota investigation eken gahanna puluwan. _(In plain English: This is about the famous 1982 attack in Paris called the "Rue des Rosiers" attack. The news says they arrested a suspect. It's a case that's over 40 years old, so it's interesting they can still make arrests from the investigation.)_

Machang, meka hari old case ne, but I saw on the news that French police arrested a 70-something-year-old suspect linked to that 1982 Paris bombing. I think it was a Palestinian militant group back then, but the case went cold for decades. Now with new evidence, they're trying to close it. _(In plain English: It's a very old case, but French authorities recently arrested an elderly suspect in connection with the 1982 attack on a Jewish restaurant in Paris. The investigation had stalled for years, but new evidence has led to this arrest.)_
