This FBI file concerns security threats attributed to the Black September movement in the aftermath of the 1972 Munich attack. The released records are largely FBI communications from September 1972 relaying aviation-security information among the Bureau, the FAA, airport police, airlines, Coast Guard, and other authorities. They describe alerts involving alleged plans to place nitroglycerin on a jumbo aircraft, bomb airliners, and demand the release of prisoners held by Israel. One communication reports information received through United Airlines and the Port Authority concerning a possible threat involving aircraft and San Juan, and directs further investigation and verification of the source.
