express regrets over the Munich massacre here at the
UN has been Lebanon. In an official statement
released here, Beirut declared:
"The Lebanese Government expresses its deep
• regret for the incident which took place at Munich. The
• Lebanese peopleiand government are grieved at the
loss of human life asa result of that incident"
The statement added, however, that "the Govern¬
ment cannot fail to see in these events new evidence of
the state of despair which grips the Palestinian people
due to their continued and forced exile, and calls upon .
the international community to participate actively in
all actions to bring about respect for the human person,
justice,'and equity."  -
King Hussein of Jordan, to date, is the first head of
state who has strongly condemned the guerrillas'
murderous onslaught.

called for a ."frank'* arid
"ruthless" inquiry into the
events in which 11 members
of Israel's Olympic squad
were killed by Arab
terrorists and five terrorists
