Munich Inaugurates Memorial To 1972 Olympics Attack

MUNICH, GERMANY - SEPTEMBER 06: Israeli President Reuven Rivlin (3-L) and German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier (C) shake hands as they pose with wife of German President Elke Buedenbender (L-R), the Israeli President's wife Nehama Rivlin, Bavarian State Premier Horst Seehofer and his wife Karin Seehofer and Bavaria's Culture Minister Ludwig Spaenle during the inauguration of a new memorial to commemorate the 1972 Palestinian terror attack at the Munich Olympics on September 6, 2017 in Munich, Germany. The memorial is located near the former Olympic village in a park and stands partially submerged with the ground. Members of the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) killed 11 Israeli athletes and one German policeman at a botched intervention attempt by German authorities following the kidnapping of the athletes by the terrorists at the 1972 Olympic Games.
