MASSACRE AT THE MUNICH OLYMPICS
During the 1972 Summer Olympics at Munich, in the early
morning of September 5, a group of Palestinian terrorists
stormed the Olympic Village apartment of the Israeli athletes,
killing two and taking nine others hostage.
The terrorists were part of a group known as Black September,
in return for the release of the hostages, they demanded that
Israel release over 230 Arab prisoners being held in Israeli jails
and two German terrorists.
In an ensuing shootout at the Munich airport, the nine Israeli
hostages were killed along with five terrorists and one West
German policeman.
Olympic competition was suspended for 24 hours to hold
memorial services for the slain athletes.
