Who was Black September? Discuss the Munich attack

What will be an ideal response?


• Arafat could not control terrorists in the many PLO splinter groups, so he created a new group after King Hussein's September attack, calling the group Black September.
• Using German leftist allies, Black September began planning a strike against the Israelis.
• It came, with German terrorist help, in Munich at the 1972 Olympic Games.
• Black September struck the Olympic Village and took most of the Israeli Olympic team hostage, killing those who tried to escape.
• German police moved in, and the world watched a drawn-out siege.
• Black September terrorists negotiated transportation to Libya, but while moving to the aircraft designated to fly them from Germany, the German police launched a rescue operation.
• Plans immediately went awry.
• Reacting quickly, terrorists machine-gunned their hostages before the German police could take control.
• The Israelis and a German police officer were killed.
• It was a terrorist victory, and European leftists and nationalists saw it as partially their triumph.
