The Palestinian militant who masterminded the deadly assault on Israeli athletes at the 1972 Munich Olympics died in Syria on Saturday, Palestinian officials said.
Mohammed Daoud Odeh, also known as Abu Daoud, died in Andalus Hospital in Damascus after suffering kidney failure. He was 73.
A former leader of the Black September Palestinian guerrilla group, Abu Daoud said he planned the Munich hostage-taking in which 11 Israelis died.
But Abu Daoud, who did not take part in the attack, said he was not directly responsible for the deaths.
“I didn’t kill anybody and I didn’t order anybody’s killing,” Abu Daoud told Reuters 1999 after publishing memoirs in which he boasted of planning the abduction.
He was buried on Saturday at the Martyrs Cemetery in Yarmouk Palestinian refugee camp near Damascus. His funeral was attended by officials from various Palestinian groups, including President Mahmoud Abbas’s Fatah faction.
On September 5, 1972, eight Black September gunmen scaled the perimeter fence surrounding the Olympic athletes’ village, their weapons concealed in sports bags amid relaxed security.

This is how an Islamic "freedom fighter" will look like, when He comes to your house. Just like they looked in Munich 1972.
Within 24 hours, 11 Israelis, five Palestinians and a German policeman were dead after a standoff and subsequent rescue effort erupted into gunfire.
Abu Daoud said in his book the guerrillas killed two Israelis at the start of the operation because they resisted as the commandos stormed their Olympic quarters.
Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir then upset the guerrillas’ plans, rejecting their offer to free the hostages in exchange for the release of 236 Palestinians held by Israel.
Then, Abu Daoud said, German police went back on their word, opening fire on the guerrillas and their hostages at the airport after promising to let them leave. When the smoke cleared, nine hostages and five guerrillas were dead on the tarmac.
He said he regretted that Palestinians had resorted to violence because the killings backfired, creating a public outcry rather than sympathy for the Palestinian cause.
After the publication of his book Israel refused to allow Abu Daoud entry into Palestinian self-ruled areas of the West Bank from Jordan, a decision he disputed.
“The (Israeli) decision to bar my return is linked to an event that has happened 27 years ago, the Munich operation, which we considered a legitimate struggle against the enemy we were fighting,” he told Reuters in Amman.

My comment:
Radical Muslims worldwide claim the Munich operation, is a part of the legitimate struggle against the enemy they are fighting.
When you have a disagreement, you feel its fine to blow up the neighbors house?
What about attacking the World Cup final in South Africa, and kill as many of the players ads you can?
Surely, the fight in the World is about right and wrong, good and evil.
When the World had allowed the formation of the Nazi-party in Germany, its was but natural to honor Hitler at the Summer Olympic games in Berlin in 1936.
The consequences of such a recognition of the Nazi-regime, was going to bring an apocalyptic disaster up on the whole World.
Islam was invented in 620 A.D, and the Koran is full of Jihad verses, a call to kill and cripple people who do not want to submit to the message of Muhammad.
Today, this evil is globally recognized as a “religion of peace”, and Islam’s struggle to bring al-Quds (Jerusalem) under their control is widely supported in European capitals.
Can you see the mistakes of the World War II repeating it self, in today’s Middle East?
When the genie in the bottle is released, its impossible to put her back in the bottle. Death and devastation will follow.
What will be the fate of Damascus, an epic center of Islamic violence and sponsorship of Islamic terrorism?
Lets see what the Bible says.
Isaiah 17:1
[ An Oracle Against Damascus ] An oracle concerning Damascus: “See, Damascus will no longer be a city but will become a heap of ruins.
