PARIS, Oct 26 (Reuters) - A French court jailed Algerian Rachid Ramda for life on Friday for his role in financing a spate of bomb attacks on the Paris underground rail network that killed eight people and wounded 200 others in 1995.

The Paris Assizes Court ordered that Ramda, 38, must serve a minimum 22 years behind bars for his role in the attacks, the worst bombings on mainland France since World War Two.
