Mohammed Oudeh, the key planner of the 1972 Munich Olympics attack that killed 11 Israeli athletes, died in Damascus on Saturday. He was 73.
His daughter, Hana Oudeh, said her father died of kidney failure. She said he was rushed to Damascus's Andalus hospital after falling sick, and passed away on Saturday morning.
Mohammed Oudeh, also known as Abu Daoud, did not participate 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."
