#1 I was under the impression that "Black September" referred to the Jordanians, growign tired of paleostinian BS (Trying to overthrow the kingdom's Hashemite ruler - King Hussein) used their army to drive the refugees out of Jordan. It (Black September) was used as a name for the group of paleostinians who took credit for the munich attack.
I was just a kid at the time, but I remember my parents being in shock over the olympic massacre.

#2 Brief synopsis:

In September three jetliners-- one American, one British and one Swiss-- were hijacked by Palestinian Arabs to Jordan. The passengers were held hostage.

This action further undermined the sovereignty of King Hussein's government. The King decided to take action and fighting broke out between the Jordanian Army and the Palestine Liberation Organization.

The Syrians attempted to intervene on the side of the P.L.O. but Israel warned that they, too, would then intervene. The Jordanian army defeated the P.L.O. whose forces fled to Lebanon.
