On September 5, 1972, a Palestinian terrorist commando took 11 members of the Israeli delegation hostage inside the Olympic village in Munich, Germany. The terrorists, who claimed to be part of the Black September movement, were demanding the liberation of Palestinian prisoners held in Israel. After killing two hostages, they negotiated a plane to take them out of the country, but a German police operation to rescue the Israelis went horribly wrong. In the end, all the hostages were killed, along with five of the eight attackers and a German police officer.
