October 29, 1972 – from a documentary titled “One Day in September” narrated by Michael Douglas.



Germany either gave in to terrorist demands or as many, including one of the terrorists, believe colluded with the terrorists.

Black September, the Palestinian terror group that killed 11 Israeli athletes at the 1972 Munich Olympics, was allowed by the German government to hijack a passenger jet two months later to provide a ‘cover story’ for the release of the three gunmen captured at the scene.

According to One Day in September – an Oscar-nominated documentary which is to be released in Britain in May – Bonn indicated to the terrorist group that it would give in to their demands should a certain aircraft – carrying no women and children – be hijacked. The Germans were keen to release the three jailed terrorists to avoid Black September fulfilling threats to carry out a series of bombings and hijackings.

On 29 October, 1972 – not even eight weeks after the Munich attack – a Lufthansa Boeing 727 on its way from Damascus, Syria, to Frankfurt was hijacked by two terrorists as it left Beirut airport. There were only 11 passengers on board, all male. The pilot was told to fly to Munich and the terrorists’ demands were relayed to Bonn. Within hours the German Chancellor, Willy Brandt, gave in and the three men were handed over. The Israelis were not consulted.

All three Black September men had been arrested during a botched attempt by German authorities to rescue the Israeli athletes taken hostage in the Olympic Village. Nine hostages and five terrorists died in the shoot-out. Two of the surviving terrorists were later killed by Mossad – the Israeli secret service – but Jamal Al-Gashey, the third, has survived in hiding. He gave his first, and only, interview to the One Day in September team. ‘An agreement had been made with the German government for our release after the hijacking of a Lufthansa plane,’ Al-Gashey told researchers. ‘I found out later.’

Though Brandt himself denied any deal, Al-Gashey’s allegations are supported by a range of senior German, Palestinian and Israeli intelligence and political sources. 

Ulrich Wegener, then a key aide of the Interior Minister and the founder of GSG-9, the Germans’ crack counter-terrorist unit, said Bonn did not want to risk confronting the Palestinians after the attack on the Olympics.

Earlier in the year Lufthansa had allegedly paid a ransom of $5million (£3.2m) after the hijack of a jet flying to Yemen. ‘At this time… the German government thought they could negotiate with terrorists, and [that] they could give them money [or] something else to get rid of them,’ Wegener said.

Islamic terrorism and government submission to and collusion with Islamic terrorists is nothing new, as we see daily. Also note the massive welcome by Libyans for Muslim killers of Jews in the beginning of the video.
