Title: Germany Israel Munich Massacre
Caption: FILE - In this Sept. 7, 1972 b/w file photo two West German border police helicopters that carried armed terrorists and their Israeli Olympian hostages, stand at Fuerstenfeldbruck air force base twenty miles west of Munich, West Germany. The helicopter in foreground is a burned out shell as a result of a hand grenade explosion set off by one of the terrorists apparently committing suicide rather than risking capture in the evening of Sept. 5. The presidents of Germany and Israel will jointly commemorate the 45th anniversary of the death of 11 Israeli athletes killed by a Palestinian militant group during the 1972 Munich Olympics.
