TERROR TRAIL THAT STARTED AT OLYMPICS

-

SEPT 5, 1972 Eight Palestinia­n terrorists from the Black September group storm the Munich apartments where Israeli athletes are sleeping, killing two and taking nine hostage. When the terrorists and hostages were taken by helicopter to a military airport, German sharpshoot­ers opened fire, killing three terrorists. A gun battle claimed the lives of all nine hostages and two terrorists.

OCT 1, 1985 Israeli warplanes bomb the PLO headquarte­rs in Hammam Chott, near Tunis, killing 47.

JAN 15, 1991 PLO second-in-command Salah Khalaf, his adviser Fakhri alOmari, and PLO security chief Hayel Abdel-Hamid are shot to death at Abdel-Hamid’s home in Tunis. JUN 8, 1992: Atef Bseiso, the PLO’s

head of intelligen­ce, is shot in Paris. It was reported he was killed because he helped to plan the Munich Massacre.

SEP 30, 2014: Jeremy Corbyn attends a conference on the future of Palestine in Tunisia. It is also attended by Hamas.

OCT 1, 2014: Mr Corbyn visits the Cemetery of the Martyrs of Palestine, on the outskirts of Tunis. In an article for the Morning Star about the visit, he writes: ‘Wreaths were laid at the graves of those who died on that day (at Hammam Chott) and on the graves of others killed by Mossad agents in Paris in 1991.’

MAY 28, 2017: The Sunday Times reports that Mr Corbyn had attended a wreath-laying ceremony at Bseiso’s grave. Mr Corbyn denies this. ATEF BSEISO was the head of intelligen­ce for the Palestine Liberation Organisati­on before his assassinat­ion outside a Paris hotel in 1992.

In the years after his death, it was widely reported that he was killed because he helped to plan the Munich Massacre in 19 2. On the night of his death, Bseiso returned from a late dinner with two friends to his luxury hotel in the French capital where he had registered under an assumed name.

Lying in wait were two assassins, who fired three bullets into his head on a dark street.
