50 years to agree Munich Olympic attack compensation 'shameful': German president

Germany's President Frank-Walter Steinmeier admitted on Sunday it was "shameful" that it took five decades for Berlin to agree compensation for the bereaved families of Israeli victims in the 1972 Munich Olympics attack. A deal was finally agreed on Wednesday offering 28 million euros in compensation, and also for the first time sees the German state acknowledging its "responsibility" in failings that led to the carnage.
