Israel
When this photo was made Aug. 14th, the Israeli Olympic weightlifting team had high hopes for some success in the games. On Sept. 5, three of them were slain by Arab guerrillas in an ill-fated scheme to bring about the release of some 200 Arab prisoners held in Israeli jails. Slain were (from left): Zeev Friedman, David Berger and Joseph Romano. Team coach Tuvia Sokolovsky (right) managed to escape capture.
