Sarkozy first gained national attention because of the “Human Bomb” incident in 1993 during which an entire kindergarten was taken hostage by a man strapped with explosives. 

While serving as Neuilly’s mayor Sarkozy negotiated with the suspect for their safe release. After the two-day siege, the children all escaped unharmed  after the “Human Bomb” was killed by French RAID police. Following this incident, Sarkozy was awarded a medal of honour and became budget minister under Prime Minister Edouard Balladur.

Sarkozy intervenes personally to negotiate with the kidnapper for the release of the children:
