2. Do you have a link that ties Salah Khalaf to Munich?

I found this one...

Following the tumultuous events in Jordan, Khalaf (by then using the nom de guerre Abū ʿIyāḍ ) reportedly organized a group known as Black September, which conducted terrorist operations in Jordan and elsewhere. He was thought to have orchestrated a number of the group’s actions, including the killing of 11 Israelis at the 1972 Olympic Summer Games in Munich, West Germany.

Wikipedia has no mention of Munich on the page about him.

The wiki page on Munich doesn't list him as being targeted by Mossad.

Wiki says that it's Daoud who was the mastermind.

The story you posted can also be found on God Reports

And like your link, they are all regurgitating this source Palestinian Media Watch

So I'm left feeling like this doesn't pass the DU smell test.
