Description: The Munich massacre occurred during the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich, Germany, when members of the Israeli Olympic team were taken hostage by the Palestinian terrorist organization Black September – a group within Yasser Arafat's Fatah organization. The hostage-takers eventually murdered 11 Israeli athletes, nine of them during a botched German rescue attempt, and one German police officer. Five of the eight kidnappers were also killed by police during the rescue attempt, with the three captured surviving hostage-takers later being released by Germany following the hijacking of a Lufthansa airliner.
