Line 30 ⟶ 29:
As a commander of Black September, Abu Daoud was the mastermind behind the Munich massacre. He planned the operation in July 1972, briefed the execution cell on the specifics of the operation, and accompanied the members of the execution cell to the Olympic Village by taxi on the night/early morning of the attack.<ref>Weinberg, Guri. [http://www.jewishjournal.com/opinion/article/nazis_at_the_olympic_village_gate "Nazis at the Olympic Village Gate."] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160806155521/http://www.jewishjournal.com/opinion/article/nazis_at_the_olympic_village_gate |date=6 August 2016 }} ''Jewish Journal''. 4 August 2016. 4 August 2016.</ref> It was on the evening of 4 September 1972, the day before the operation commenced in the early morning of 5 September 1972, that Abu Daoud briefed the assassination squad and issued final instructions over dinner in a restaurant at the Munich railway station.<ref>{{cite news |title=Abu Daoud|newspaper=The Daily Telegraph|date=4 July 2010|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/obituaries/sport-obituaries/7871498/Abu-Daoud.html|location=London}}</ref>
In 2006, Abu Daoud gave several personal interviews after the release of the Steven Spielberg film ''[[Munich (2005 film)|Munich]]'' revived discussions of the massacre. Abu Daoud remained unrepentant regarding his role in the Munich attacks, stating on Germany's ''Spiegel TV'', "I regret nothing. You can only dream that I would apologise."<ref name="cnn"/> In an Associated Press interview, he justified the operation by claiming it was a strategic success, declaring: "Before Munich, we were simply terrorists. After Munich, at least people started asking who are these terrorists? What do they want? Before Munich, nobody had the slightest idea about Palestine."<ref>{{cite news|title=Munich mastermind has no regrets |first=Zeina |last=Karam |author-link=Zeina Karam |newspaper=Seattle Post Intelligencer |agency=Associated Press |date=24 February 2006 |url=http://www.seattlepi.com/olympics/260723_mastermind24.html}}</ref>
