(CNN) — Abu Daoud, the man who claimed to be the mastermind behind the massacre that marked the 1972 Munich Olympics, has died, according to the official news agency of the Palestinian Authority.
On September 5 of that year, Palestinian terrorists killed 11 Israeli athletes who were taken hostage.
Daoud, also known as Mohammed Oudeh, died Friday night, the WAFA news agency reported Saturday. The former Palestinian politician and commander in the Fatah and Palestinian Liberation Organization movements was 73.
Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas sent his condolences to Daoud’s family, WAFA reported.
“He wrote in his letter to his family, ‘He is missed. He was one of the leading figures of Fatah and spent his life in resistance [against the occupation] and sincere work as well as physical sacrifice for his people’s just causes,’ ” the news agency quoted Abbas as saying.

At a dinner with the Israeli Consul General he was quite frank that virtually ALL their negotiating hope was in a gentleman named Salam Fayed whose entire purpose was to create the institutions of a functioning sovereign state FIRST, before worrying about anything else in negotiations. If the Palestinians choose a responsible state structure, something they have avoided in order to help murderers, MAYBE one day in 10+ years a state might have a chance.
