Fatah about terror commander: “A beacon guiding… the path to liberation”
In Palestinian Authority terminology a “quality operation” is a euphemism for a successful terror attack. Palestinians use the term to describe murderous attacks against Israeli civilians. One attack that has earned this praise repeatedly was the murder of the 11 Israeli athletes at the Munich Olympics in 1972.
Eight Palestinian terrorists from the terror organization Black September, a secret branch of Fatah, broke into the athletes village at the Munich Olympics on Sept. 5, 1972. The terrorists took Israeli athletes and coaches hostage in their rooms, murdering two right away, ultimately murdering 11 when the German police tried but failed to rescue the hostages and subdue the terrorists at an airport near Munich.
