Munich Olympics
Who were and what happened to each of the THREE TERRORISTS who survived the Munich massacre?
I just finished watching Speilberg’s ‘Munich”. The film mentions the historic fact that three of the Palestinian terrorists who prepetrated the Olympic massacre later were freed and went to Libya. They were traded by the Germans during another hostage crisis. Who were these men and what eventually happened to each of them?
i don’t know how somebody concludes “I already know”, but the truth is I do not know that is why I asked.
The three surviving terrorists were Jamal Al-Gashey, Adnan Al-Gashey, and Mohammed Safady.
They were released from German custody sometime after the Olympics in exchange for a hijacked Lufthansa jet.
“Operation Wrath of God” was initiated by the Israeli government to hunt them down, as well as others involved with the action in Munich.
Adnan Al-Gashey and Mohammed Safady are now dead – either killed by Mossad agents or by natural causes, depending on your source.
Jamal Al-Gashey is still alive and living in Africa.
I concur with the prior poster that the HBO documentary “One Day in September” and the book of the same name, which goes into much more detail about “Wrath of God” are excellent sources of information.
