The munich massacre happened at 4 30 in the morning, on September 5 during the 1972 Olympic Games. Entering a hotel in which Israeli athletes were staying, 8 Palestinian terrorists emerged to the door of the athletes, making noise a 135 kg referee heard was going on and threw his body weight against the door, allowing numerous athletes and assistants to escape. Moments later the Palestinians broke in on a rampage. They killed two members of the Olympic team and held nine others hostage. The situation ended with a grousome gunfight ending with 5 of the terrorists and all of the hostages dead!
blah blah blah..
Israeli people were killed for the incentive of letting 234 Israeli prisoners and 2 German prisoners by 9 a.m.
see Stephen Speilberg's movie 'Munich' for greater detail.
