Declassified Files Expose Global Support for Mossad in Munich Killers Pursuit
- In response to the killing of 11 Israeli athletes by Palestinian terrorists at the 1972 Munich Olympic Games, Israel initiated Operation Wrath of God, a mission to track down and eliminate those responsible across Europe.
- This covert mission arose due to armed Palestinian terrorists linked to the Black September Organization carrying out the massacre, prompting Israel’s targeted assassination campaign.
- Western intelligence agencies from at least 18 nations, including the US, UK, France, Switzerland, Italy, and West Germany, discreetly shared detailed intelligence to assist Mossad.
- The secret Kilowatt network, established in 1971, facilitated exchange of surveillance, locations, photographs, and analysis, enabling Mossad to target figures like Wael Zwaiter, Mahmoud al-Hamshari, and Mohamed Boudia.
- Though successful in assassinating several suspects, the campaign faced setbacks such as the 1973 Lillehammer affair, leading to arrests and political fallout that ended the operation under Prime Minister Golda Meir.
