Why can't you get it from Google? That's all anyone else would do to find it.

And you would get far more than just one link that way.

The month:



September 1970 is known as the Black September in Arab history and sometimes is referred to as the "era of regrettable events." It was a month when Hashemite King Hussein of Jordan moved to quash the militancy of Palestinian organizations and restore his monarchy's rule over the country. The violence resulted in the deaths of thousands of people, the vast majority Palestinian. Armed conflict lasted until July 1971 with the expulsion of the Palestine Liberation Organisation and thousands of Palestinian fighters to Lebanon. - source of Black September (September 1970) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_September_in_Jordan)



The Group:



The Black September Organization (BSO) was a Palestinian paramilitary group, founded in 1970. It was responsible for the kidnapping and murder of eleven Israeli athletes and officials, and fatal shooting of a West German policeman, during the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich, their most publicized event. - source of the Black September GROUP (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_September_(group))


the Dawson's Field Hijackings:



In the Dawson's Field hijackings (September 6, 1970) five jet aircraft bound for New York City were hijacked by members of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine. In the incident one hijacker was killed, and one injury was reported on El Al flight 219. - source of Dawson's Field Hijackings (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dawson's_Field_hijackings)
