Tragedy of the Munich Games

Tragedy of the Munich Games - The kidnappers killed eleven Israeli athletes and coaches and a West German police officer.

The Israeli operations cost the lives of one innocent in Norway (Lillehammer affair) and of four passersby in Lebanon during the killing of Ali Hassan Salameh.
