I've just been pottering round the internet whilst waiting for the fun to begin later on, and did a quick search for Operation Bayonet. Did it not occur to anyone to wonder why it is called that, or where the name came from? I don't recall seeing anything about it, but this is what I discovered, in a nutshell.

Basically, Operation Bayonet was another name for Operation Wrath of God, run by Israel to assassinate individuals involved in the Munich massacre in 1972.

Coincidence? Probably. Worth mentioning? I would have thought so.

From the BBC - they did a programme about it, shown on Tuesday, 24 January, 2006
Quote:
Munich: Operation Bayonet
Munich: Operation Bayonet features, for the first time, the Mossad agents involved in the assassinations of Palestinians linked to the massacre of Israeli athletes at the 1972 Olympic Games.

During the 1972 summer Olympics in Munich, Germany, 11 Israeli athletes were killed by the Palestinian terrorist organisation Black September.

Within days of the massacre, Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir secretly ordered Mossad (Israel's intelligence agency) to hunt down and assassinate all those responsible for the planning and execution of the Olympic massacre.

During the next seven years, more than a dozen suspects and suspected terror masterminds were killed throughout Europe and the Middle East.

This campaign, conducted by a specially trained hit-team - code named "kidon" (bayonet in Hebrew) - has been the subject of many accounts by writers, journalists and filmmakers, and is the basis of Steven Spielberg's new feature film "Munich".

Up until now, no one in Mossad has been permitted to speak in detail about the extraordinary series of events.

Global terrorism

Bayonet operatives reveal their secret missions in compelling detail, including the assassination of Ali Hassan Salameh, mastermind of Black September and CIA contact, in Beirut.

One former Bayonet member - referred to in the film as "T" to hide his real identity - revisits France and Norway to walk through the undercover operations carried out there 30 years ago.

Some considered these operations a success, given the total eradication of Black September, but they did not always go to plan.

Munich: Operation Bayonet features extensive interviews with former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak, the former head of Mossad Shabtai Shavit and ex-CIA agents.

With its unique access, this film draws a clear picture of the clandestine 1970s operations that changed the face of global terrorism.


There is also information over on Old Faithful, Wikipedia

Munich

Just random FYI - I haven't seen Munich, but HBO Pictures did a film based upon the same group and operation called "Sword of Gideon", which is what, in the film, the prime minister called the group, who were specifically not Mossad. Just some notes...granted, this was an entertainment and at no time cited as "real", unlike "Munich".

Chatzilla doesn't work... mIRC is blocked... can't use Java, so basically I'm completely on my own, and can only browse the forums

I will be watching from the PCI, but if they use voice communications (which I think they probably will) I'll be completely in the dark, especially with this internet cutting out every 15 seconds

Is there ANYONE who'll stick around here and comfort me?

I rather think we're lucky to get any sort of communications tbh

Also, the extra IS Caine. This should be interesting, but his Key's been confiscated
