Germany selects Munich for Olympics bid; would be first in country since disastrous 1972 Games
Germany has chosen Munich as its candidate city to host the Olympic Games, which would mark the first time the country stages the event since the 1972 Munich Games, where Palestinian militants killed 11 Israeli athletes and coaches. The selection sets up a potential bid, but the International Olympic Committee has yet to award the Games, and debate over the legacy of 1972 is likely to accompany the campaign.
Why now: The choice of Munich revives memories of the 1972 massacre and raises questions about whether Germany will win and stage another Olympics.
