Biography[]
Mohammed Safady was born in Palestine, and he received "special training" with the Black September Organization affiliate of the Palestine Liberation Organization. On 5 September 1972, he helped in the kidnapping of the Israeli athletes from the Olympic Village in Munich, West Germany, and he suffered a flesh wound during the attack by the German police on Connollystrasse the next morning. He was captured alive, and he was released alongside Adnan al-Gashey and Jamal al-Gashey after Lufthansa Flight 615 was hijacked by the BSO. Safady was allegedly killed by the Kataeb Party while fighting in the Lebanese Civil War, but PLO veteran Tawfiq Tirawi informed a reporter that Safady was alive in Lebanon.
