The sources collected provide the factual details of the events on 5th September 1972 at the Munich Olympic Games. The attack on the Israeli team is condemned and placed in the context of international terrorism with calls for a common approach to fighting terrorism. The politicizing of what is essentially regarded as a non-political event (The Olympics) is condemned and also leads to questions about the Olympics. The condemnation of the events at Munich also cast doubt over a peace settlement between the Palestinians and Israelis. The sources provide a factual, Western view point.
