Planner of Munich Olympics attack dies

Post by CJvR »

The world is a slightly better place.
Mohammed Oudeh, the key planner of the 1972 Munich Olympics attack that killed 11 Israeli athletes, has died in Damascus. He was 73.

His daughter, Hana Oudeh, said her father died of kidney failure. She said he was taken to Damascus' Andalus hospital after falling sick, and died today.

Mohammed Oudeh, also known as Abu Daoud, did not take part in the attack on September 5 1972.

He was a leader of Black September, an offshoot of the late Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat's Fatah group that was established to avenge the 1970 expulsion of Palestinian guerrillas from Jordan.

Hana Oudeh said her father will be buried later today in Damascus' Yarmouk Palestinian refugee camp.

He is survived by five daughters and a son.

The old guy apparently lived long enough to have second thoughts about what he spawned.

Lived to see the error of his acts, and died what is presumably a pretty unpleasant death.

Outstanding.

*edit* I think you're confusing Mohammed Hussein Fadlallah with Mohammed Oudeh...

In a 2006 interview, Oudeh said he had no qualms about the operation because he considered the Israeli athletes, as military reservists, legitimate targets.

OJ Simpson was a Mossad agent?
Something about Libertarianism always bothered me. Then one day, I realized what it was:
Libertarian philosophy can be boiled down to the phrase, "Work Will Make You Free."


In Libertarianism, there is no Government, so the Bosses are free to exploit the Workers.
In Communism, there is no Government, so the Workers are free to exploit the Bosses.
So in Libertarianism, man exploits man, but in Communism, its the other way around!

hrmm looks like they died a day apart and were a year difference in age. Mistake wasn't a hard one to make.
