German prosecutors decided not to open a formal investigation into whether Palestinian Authority President Yasser Arafat was involved in the 1972 massacre at the Munich Olympics, the German Justice Ministry said. The newsweekly Focus reported that the prosecutors began a probe after a onetime associate, Abu Daoud, wrote in a book that Arafat had prior knowledge of the attack.
