James Richards Posted May 29, 2004 Share Posted May 29, 2004 Unfortunately, my most vivid memories of any Olympic Games is not for any sporting achievement but for a brutal terrorist act. It was the 1972 Munich Olympics when a PLO faction group called Black September stormed the Olympic village and took 9 Israeli athletes hostage. As intense negotiations ensued, the games went on. In his 1999 book, 'Memoirs Of A Palestinian Terrorist', Abu Daoud admitted masterminding the attack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
