The '''Munich massacre''' refers to the 1972 terrorist attacks at the summer [[Olympics]] in [[Munich]], [[Germany]]. The [[Palestine|Palestinian]] terrorist organization Black September kidnapped and murdered 11 Israeli athletes, and killed a police officer in the process.

Of 8 terrorists, 5 were killed and 3 were temporarily imprisoned until released to [[Libya]] in exchange for a Lufthansa passenger jet that had been taken hostage.

In response, Israel launched [[Operation Wrath of God]], a series of clandestine activities directed at members of Black September and the [[Palestine Liberation Organization]].
