Black September Organization

The Black September Organization was a Palestinian extremist group active in the early 1970s, known for carrying out high-profile attacks to promote Palestinian causes. They gained international notoriety for the hostage-taking and killing of Israeli athletes during the 1972 Munich Olympics, aiming to draw attention to Palestinian struggles. The group operated clandestinely, using guerrilla tactics and targeted violence. Their actions sparked widespread condemnation and prompted efforts to combat international terrorism. Black September is considered a precursor to modern terrorist organizations, exemplifying the complex and violent dimensions of Arab-Israeli tensions during that period.
