How One Tragedy Created the FBI's Elite Counterterrorism Unit
On September 5, 1972, an attack began that would send shockwaves throughout the world. Eight armed insurgents would take 11 Israelis hostage during the 1972 Olympics. After a 20 hour standoff with the world watching helplessly, things would take a tragic turn that would result in the death of all hostages. This event, known infamously as the Munich Massacre, had lasting repercussions on an international scale, waking up Western governments to the global threat of terrorism.
Nearly 12 years later with the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics approaching, the FBI would be tasked with creating an elite unit designed to make sure an event like this never happened again…
Throughout the years, the FBI Hostage Rescue Team would participate in several crucial missions both domestic and abroad, which helped develop their purpose, skill sets, and overall mission. If you’d like to learn more about the FBI Hostage Rescue Team, watch this video!
