Munich Massacre
The Munich Massacre refers to the tragic events that occurred during the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich, West Germany. A Palestinian terrorist group called Black September took eleven members of the Israeli Olympic team hostage, demanding the release of prisoners held in Israel. The standoff ended in violence, resulting in the deaths of all the hostages, five terrorists, and a police officer.
The incident shocked the world and highlighted the ongoing conflict between Israel and Palestinian groups. In response, the International Olympic Committee suspended the games for a day, and the event remains a significant moment in the history of international sports and terrorism.
