BUDAPEST- US director Steven Spielberg is to begin shooting a movie on the
massacre of Israeli athletes at the 1972 Munich Olympic Games, Spielberg's
spokesman said, adding that filming would take place in Hungary.
The film will be called "Vengeance" in reference to the subsequent operation
by Israeli intelligence agents to track down and kill several of the murder
suspects, Spielberg spokesman Marvin Levy told the national MTI news agency.
On September 5, 1972, eight gunmen from a Palestinian group calling
themselves Black September burst into the apartment block of the athletes'
village housing the Israeli team, shot two men dead and took the rest hostage.
In the hostage-taking that ensued, 11 Israelis were killed in a botched
attempt by German security services to free them.
MTI said filming is expected to start in early July.
