This guy, major figure in the Munich Olympic was actually married to Miss Universe, who was Miss Lebanon, this is mind-blowing, too, the CIA did in fact, protect the guy (as shown in the movie "Munich") because he was paid to make sure American interests were protected over there, he got assassinated and eventually, our
CIA official Robert Ames over there was killed in an attack by terrorists. A lot of history and detail.

Ali Hassan Salameh rose to the top of the Fatah Party in the 1960s and 1970s to become one of Arafat's most trusted men. He also founded the Black September armed group which killed 11 Israeli athletes at the Munich Olympic Games in 1972.

"The Munich operation was meant to protest against the Palestinians' exclusion from the Olympic Games," explains Saqr Abu Fakhr, assistant editor at the Journal for Palestine Studies. "Why should Israel alone be represented at this event? It was also aimed at drawing attention to the Palestinian cause and the issue of prisoners inside Israel. However, its operations were not intended to kill but to take hostages and exchange them."
Unfortunately, the operation went badly wrong.

They were an unlikely couple. She was an international beauty queen. He was what many saw as a revolutionary with close connections to America’s Central Intelligence Agency. But in 1970s Beirut, the marriage of Georgina Rizk, a Lebanese model and winner of the Miss Universe contest in 1971, to Ali Hassan Salameh, a leading figure of the Palestine Liberation Organisation, was the talk of the town.
“They were one of the most talked-about couples in Beirut at the time. Everyone I know in the city is connected to them in some way, or remembers seeing them in restaurants and nightclubs,†says Lebanese artist Alfred Tarazi.
After their marriage in 1977, Rizk and Salameh honeymooned in Hawaii and Disneyland, Florida, on a trip that was partially facilitated and funded by the CIA. “She simply fell in love. Anyone who had met Salameh would tell you how handsome and charming he was,†explains Tarazi.

If one sees that movie "Munich", it's in London where the CIA foiled the crew sent out by the Mossad to assassinate the masterminds of the Munich Massacre. Per above, I don't know if I agree with al Jazeera's take totally, it just serves as an intro and a lot of it is probably accurate. Did those terrorists not mean for this to be so bad? I don't know.
It's mindblowing, in 1. he married the Miss Universe, 2. apparently, the CIA did protect this guy. It shows how complex things can be, over there but probably anywhere.
And 4 years after Ali Hassan Salameh was killed, apparently, one of our CIA officials were killed and there is some conjecture that that bombing could have been avoided.
