Muhammad Daoud Oudeh (Abu Daoud) - Member of the terror organization Black September, a secret branch of Fatah, and mastermind of the murder of 11 Israeli athletes in the Munich Olympics massacre on Sept. 5, 1972.

The Karameh battle, or Al-Karameh - On March 21, 1968, Israeli army forces attacked the Fatah terror base in the town of Karameh in Jordan, from where terrorists had been launching attacks on Israel. Although Israel prevailed militarily, approximately 30 Israeli soldiers were killed, and Arafat used the event for propaganda purposes, declaring the battle a great victory that erased the disgrace of the 1967 Six Day War defeat.

Black September - a now inactive Palestinian terror organization and secret branch of Fatah, which was established by PLO Chairman Yasser Arafat in 1970 and was led by Arafat's deputy Abu Iyad (Salah Khalaf). Black September's terror attacks include the murder of 11 Israeli athletes at the Munich Olympics (Sept. 5, 1972), and the murder of two American diplomats in Sudan (March 1, 1973).
