🇵🇸 Black September Organisation - 2/2
The BSO engaged in several plots to avenge Palestinian losses in Jordan and weaken Israel. These included kidnappings, the assassination of Jordanian Prime Minister Wasif al-Tel in Cairo on 28 November 1971 and, most notoriously, the murder of 11 Israeli athletes at the 1972 #MunichOlympics. Other attacks included the #hijacking of several commercial flights, the mailing of hundreds of letter bombs and the assassination of prominent figures such as a #Mossad agent and Saudi Embassy diplomats in Khartoum (Sudan). In total, BSO claimed or was attributed to at least 120 attacks.
Israel, in turn, unleashed its own Black September operation when Israeli Prime Minister #GoldaMeir ordered the creation of a hit squad that deployed throughout #Europe and the Middle East. This group assassinated numerous Palestinian and Arab agents, including those suspected of links to Black September.
