Germany Offers Reparations for Munich Olympics Attack

Germany has appointed an eight-person commission to re-appraise the attack on Israeli athletes and team members at the 1972 Munich Olympics.
The project is part of a larger government approach to seek reconciliation with the families affected.
A compensation offer of 28 million euros ($30.67 million) is being made to the families affected.
Palestinians from the Black September militant group took members of the Israeli Olympic team hostage on Sept. 5, 1972.
Eleven Israelis, a German policeman and five of the Palestinian gunmen died after a stand-off at the Olympic village and the nearby Fuerstenfeldbruck airfield.
