During the siege, police placed listening devices at key spots of the Iranian Embassy and had established a line communication with the hostage takers, to cover up noise from the police drilling the holes for listen devices, a gas company was called in to dig up the street and had flightpaths into and out of Heathrow Airport redirected so planes could fly over the embassy. On the 5th day of the siege, there was a clash in Hyde Park between pro-Khomeini protesters and members of the British Public who were heckling the protesters in which several were injured. In one of the news broadcasts, were members of the public were shouting for the Iranians to "Go Home" and holding signs for the Iranians to release the Americans who were still being held by the Iranians after being taken hostage during the US Embassy Siege in Tehran on the 4th November 1979. Investigation into the Iran Embassy Siege, the gunmen were members of a Iraqi-sponsored Iranian militant group, the Democratic Revolutionary Front for the Liberation of Arabistan (or the DRFLA) who were acting on orders issued by Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini's enemy and President of Iraq, Saddam Hussein. After the siege, the DRFLA sided with Iraq in the Iran-Iraq War from the 20th September 1980 to the 20th August 1988. The Iran Embassy Siege wasn't the first counter-terrorist operation that SAS were involved in: Balcombe Street Siege - The siege of a apartment by members of PIRA group, known as the Balcombe Street Gang on Balcombe Street in Marylebone from the 6th to the 12th December 1975. While the SAS wasn't directly involved, the Balcombe Street Gang had surrendered to the Metropolitan Police on the 12th December, after hearing the SAS was going to be brought in. The apartment owners were released unharmed. 1977 Dutch Train Hijacking - The hijacking of a commuter train near the village of De Punt in the Netherlands by members of a Indonesian Moluccan nationalist group on the morning of the 23rd May 1977. The same day of the hijacking, a second Moluccan group had seized control of a school at Bovensmilde, 12km from De Punt, taking 105 students and five teachers hostage. In both sieges, the SAS were brought in as advisers to the Dutch M-Squadron counter-terrorist unit, both sieges came to an end on the 11th June with different results. In the school, all 110 hostages were rescued with all of their captors surrendering and taken into custody, while on the train, six of the nine terrorists were killed in the raid, along with two of the 50 hostages onboard. The film also show archival news footage of several terrorist attacks committed in the Middle East and Europe during the 1970s: Dawson's Field Hijackings - The hijacking and the destruction of four planes, Trans World Airlines Flight 741 (Boeing 707-331B, registration N8715T, enroute from Tel Aviv to New York via Athens and Frankfurt with 144 passengers and 11 crew), Swissair Flight 100 (Douglas DC-8-53, registration HB-IDD, call-sign, Nidwalden, enroute from Zurich to New York with 143 passengers and 12 crew), Pan American Airways Flight 93 (Boeing 747-121, registration N752PA, call-sign, Clipper Fortune, enroute from Brussel to New York via Amsterdam with 152 passengers and 17 crew) and British Overseas Airways Corporation Flight 775 (Vickers VC-10-1151, registration G-ASGN, enroute from Bombay (now Mumbai) to London via Bahrain and Beirut with 105 passengers and 9 crew) by members of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (or the PFLP) at the former site of Royal Air Force Station Zerqa at Dawson's Fields near Zerqa, Jordan from the 6th to the 13th September 1970. The hijacking of BOAC 775 was a attempt to get the British Government to release PFLP member, Leila Khaled who was arrested after the failed hijacking of one of the flights targeted, El Al Israel Airlines Flight 219, (Boeing 707, registration 4X-ATB) that was enroute from Tel Aviv to New York via Amsterdam with 138 passengers and 10 crew, the failed hijacking also resulted in the death of hijacker and member of the Sandinista National Liberation Front, Patricio "Patrick Argüello" Ryan. Munich Massacre - The kidnapping and the murders of 11 members of the Israeli Olympic Team by members of the Palestinian group. Black September at the Fürstenfeldbruck Air Field in Munich during a rescue attempt by the West German Police in the early hours of the 6th September 1972. The rescue attempt also resulted in deaths of the five Black September members and West German Police Officer Anton Fliegerbauer who was shot in the crossfire between the terrorists and the West German Police. An investigation into the Massacre had revealed that West German Constitution Law at the time had prohibited the West German Army, the Bundeswehr from taking part in the rescue as German Armed Forces weren't allowed to operate in West Germany during peacetime and was considered as a local police matter. The investigation also revealed that a crisis committee was set up to deal with the rescue consisting of the West German Interior Minster, Hans-Dietrich Genscher, the Bavarian Interior Minster, Bruno Merk and the chief of the West German Police Munich Branch, Manfred Schreiber. It was later revealed that in August 1971, Schreiber had took part in a similar hostage situation (a failed bank robbery), Schreiber had ordered a police marksman to shoot one of the robbers, only wounding the robber. In retaliation, the robbers shot and killed a female hostage. As a result of his handling of the hostage siege at the bank, Schreiber was charged of involuntary manslaughter, but was later acquitted. As the result of the Munich Massacre, the West German Federal Police, the Bundesgrenzschutz (later renamed the Bundespolizei or "Border Police") formed the West German Federal Police Counter-terrorist Branch, the Grenzschutzgruppe 9 (the Border Protection Group 9 or the GSG 9, later renamed the GSG 9 der Bundespolizei) three weeks after the Massacre on the 26th September 1972. -- Last edit: 2022-07-22 07:28:26 |
