The Palestinian terror organization, Black September, which was responsible for the 1972 Munich massacre of Israeli Olympic athletes, is to establish bases in West Germany and France, “Die Welt” reported yesterday. Quoting security service sources, the paper said three units would be infiltrated into Europe to carry out terror attacks on industrial concerns and various institutions to wreck the coming Geneva conference, if ordered to do so by Palestinian leaders. One group has been ordered to smuggle arms into West Germany, a second group is to be infiltrated into West Germany via Spain, and a third group is to lie low in the south of France.
