 Organizers balked against preparing for Situation 21 and the other scenarios, since guarding the Games against them would have gone against the goal of "Carefree Games" without heavy security.The German weekly news magazine "Der Spiegel" wrote in 2012 that West German authorities had a tip-off from a Palestinian informant in Beirut three weeks before the massacre.The informant told West Germany that Palestinians were planning an "incident" at the Olympic Games, and the Foreign Ministry in Bonn viewed the tip-off seriously enough to pass it to the secret service in Munich and urge that "all possible security measures" be taken.
