(ANSA) - Rome, December 2 - The wife of one of 11 Israeli
Olympians killed by Palestinian gunmen at the 1972 Munich Games
has disclosed new details of her husband's final moments, saying
that he was mutilated by his captors, the Associated Press
reported Wednesday.
After years of remaining silent, Ilana Romano said
Wednesday that photos she obtained from Germany in 1992 showed
that the body of her husband, weightlifter Yossi Romano, was
mutilated after he was shot while trying to resist the
attackers.
She said the Palestinian attackers had beaten up other
athletes and forced them to watch her husband die while refusing
to allow doctors into the room.
"Some said the Palestinian terrorists were freedom
fighters. Not only were they not freedom fighters, but they were
brutal," she said.
