🇵🇸 Black September Organisation - 1/2
In addition to sowing civil war and the disintegration of Lebanon, the 1970 Jordanian-Palestinian war led to the creation of the Palestinian #BlackSeptember movement. The BSO was created in 1971, as a small cell or #commando faction that split from the PLO, specifically the Fatah #faction. Recruits from the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (#PFLP), as-Sa’iqa and other groups also joined.
Initially, most BSO members were #Fatah dissidents who had been close to Abu Ali Iyad, the commander of Fatah forces in northern #Jordan. He continued to fight the Jordanian army after the withdrawal of the #PLO leadership. He was killed, allegedly by execution, by Jordanian forces on 23 July 1971. According to them, the Jordanian Prime Minister at the time, #WasfiTal, was personally responsible for his torture and death.

🇵🇸 Black September Organisation - 2/2
The BSO engaged in several plots to avenge Palestinian losses in Jordan and weaken Israel. These included kidnappings, the assassination of Jordanian Prime Minister Wasif al-Tel in Cairo on 28 November 1971 and, most notoriously, the murder of 11 Israeli athletes at the 1972 #MunichOlympics. Other attacks included the #hijacking of several commercial flights, the mailing of hundreds of letter bombs and the assassination of prominent figures such as a #Mossad agent and Saudi Embassy diplomats in Khartoum (Sudan). In total, BSO claimed or was attributed to at least 120 attacks.
Israel, in turn, unleashed its own Black September operation when Israeli Prime Minister #GoldaMeir ordered the creation of a hit squad that deployed throughout #Europe and the Middle East. This group assassinated numerous Palestinian and Arab agents, including those suspected of links to Black September.
