The Baader-Meinhof gang wasn´t the only terrorgroup that where working in WestGermany in the 70 and 80s. During the summer-olympics in Münich 1972 the palestinian group ”Black September” took several persons of the Israelian olympicsquad as prisoners (five terrorists and elven israelian where killed). In 1972 another german terrorgroup where introduced, whit a bomb against a brittish yachtclub in West Berlin. The group took its name after the date when Benno Ohnesorg where shot dead in 1967.
The 2-june group got the most attention for the kidnapping of the mayor of West Berlin Peter Lorentz in 1975. For the release of Lorenz the group demanded that six inprisoned members should be released. The Westgerman goverment accepted the demands, the prisoners where released and soon after that even Lorenz.
Another german terrorgroup where the ”Revolutionären Zellen” they where more anonymus but was behind many political attacks during the 1970 and 1980s.
