It actually goes back to before 1972 in Munich. The Black September group was organized by none other than Yasser Arafat as a terrorist organization against Jordan for the Palesinians being discriminated against and eventually thrown out of Jordan.

Nobody gave a whit and fewer knew about Jordan so the next best thing was to do something really horrible to make a world wide statement where the whole world was watching the 1972 Olympics.

Hijacking airliners started to be a means to make a politcal statement in 1968 but most of the hijackings were to Cuba prior to the Olympics.
