Political leaders, Jewish representatives, diplomats and family members from Israel were among guests who arrived to remember the 11 Israeli athletes and one German policeman killed in the 1972 hostage-taking and its aftermath by members of the Black September Palestinian terrorist organization. Most of the victims, as well as five terrorists, were killed after an attempt by German police to intervene went wrong at Fuerstenfeldbruck airport.
