Revealed: shocking details of Munich massacre

Shocking details were revealed today (Tuesday) about what happened during the abduction of the Israeli athletes in Munich in 1972. Details were revealed by their widows in the New York Times.

During the twentieth Olympic Games in Munich in West Germany, eleven athletes were murdered, members of the Israeli Olympic delegation, by the Palestinian terrorist organization "Black September".

Two victims were killed immediately after the terrorist takeover of the delegation, and nine others were held hostage for about 19 hours.

According to Ilana Romano and Anki Spitzer, widows of the murdered, the athletes were severely tortured and beaten before the eyes of their peers.

The harsh stories became known only several years ago, after the lawyer who held pictures of the event revealed them to the widows.

Romano, who was a wrestler, tried to fight the hijackers who broke into the apartment complex, was shot during his resistance to the kidnapping, and underwent severe torture. "They especially abused my husband severely, they harmed his organs," said Ilana Romano, his widow.

Anki Spitzer, who represented the families said that she saw the appalling documentation: "The images were worse than I could imagine," she said. "The terrorists claimed they did not intend to kill anybody but to negotiate the release of their friends from Israeli prisons, they said that just because of the failed attempt of the German police to break in, the hostages were killed. But that's not true. They came to kill people."
