Terror Shooting at Munich Mall, Site Where Israeli Athletes Were Murdered in Olympic Village

At least nine people died Friday night, among them a 15-year-old girl, in a terror attack at the Olympia Shopping Mall, built on the site of the Olympic village where 11 Israeli athletes were murdered by Arab terrorists in 1972.

The Arab Black September terrorist group took the Israeli athletes hostage and murdered them during the 1972 Olympic Games held at the Olympic Stadium next door to the mall where three shooters with “long-barreled rifles” opened fire at shoppers and employees.

At least some parts of the country’s border were sealed off in an attempt to prevent the terrorists from escaping Germany.

It’s not known whether there were Israelis or other Jews on the scene at the time of the attack, approximately an hour and a half before the start of the Jewish Sabbath.

This is the second terror attack in Germany in a week; an Afghan teenager wielded an ax on a train earlier in the week in an attempt to kill passengers in the country. Four people were physically injured and more than a dozen others suffered traumatic shock in that attack.

Friday was also the five-year anniversary of the massacre in Norway by Anders Behring Breivik, a far-right extremist. Anger against political refugees from the Middle East and Africa has been rising in the far-right sector.

I used to have a flintlock with a 48 inch barrel. That was a long-rifle.

Islamist ax attack, Islamist shooting attack, on defenseless civilians in Germany, this week.

Islamist terrorism is just now starting in earnest in Germany.

It was the German nightclub bombing that led Reagan to strike back at Islamic terror from Tripoli. Europe is incapable of dealing with the Islamist terrorist threat themselves.

Most.22 rifle barrels are around 20 to 24 inches long. I have a 44/40 Winchester with a 30 inch barrel.
