Line 106:
Issa then dashed across the tarmac and began firing at the police, who killed him with return fire. Another, Khalid Jawad, attempted to escape and was gunned down by one of the snipers. What happened to the remaining hostages is still a matter of dispute. A German police investigation indicated that one of their snipers and a few of the hostages may have been shot inadvertently by the police. However, a ''[[Time (magazine)|Time]]'' magazine reconstruction of the long-suppressed Bavarian prosecutor's report indicates that a third kidnapper (Reeve identifies Adnan Al-Gashey) stood at the door of the western helicopter and raked the remaining five hostages with machine gun fire; Gutfreund, Shorr, Slavin, Spitzer and Shapira were shot an average of four times each.<ref name=began/><ref name=Groussard/>
Of the four hostages in the eastern helicopter, only [[Ze'ev Friedman]]'s body was relatively intact; he had been blown clear of the helicopter by the explosion.
Three of the remaining terrorists lay on the ground, one of them feigning death, and were captured by police. [[Jamal Al-Gashey]] had been shot through his right wrist,<ref name=Reeve/> and Mohammed Safady had sustained a flesh wound to his leg.<ref name=Groussard/> [[Adnan Al-Gashey]] had escaped injury completely. Yusuf Nazzal ("Tony") escaped the scene, but was tracked down with police dogs 40 minutes later in an airbase parking lot. Cornered and bombarded with tear gas, he was shot dead after a brief gunfight. By around 1:30 am on 6 September, the battle was over.
