46 YEARS AGO (1972) We blasted the German authorities for their handling of the Munich hostage crisis after 11 of the Israeli Olympic team held by Palestinian terrorist group Black September were killed. 95 YEARS AGO (1923) The International Police Organisation, Interpol, was formed in Vienna, Austria, to formalise police co-operation between nations. Britain joined Interpol in 1928. 66 YEARS AGO (1952) A coup by the Egyptian Army led by General Muhammad Neguib removed Prime Minister Aly Maher from office and abolished the monarchy under King Farouk and his son Fu’ad II. But two years later Neguib himself was deposed by Colonel Abdel Nasser.
