Grand Mosque Seizure, November 20, 1979: 200 Islamic terrorists seized the Grand Mosque in Mecca, Saudi Arabia, taking hundreds of pilgrims hostage. Saudi and French security forces retook the shrine after an intense battle in which some 250 people were killed and 600 wounded.

I can't believe I never heard of this incident.

It couldn't be because the marxist controlled media in the US determined that it wasn't significant could it?
