On 5 September 1973 during the 4th summit of Non-Aligned Movement in Algiers, and a year to the day after the hostage crisis at the Munich Olympics, the embassy has been hostage by a Palestinian commando demanding the release of Abu Daoud, leader of the Black September organization and hostage organizer of Munich, then detained in Jordan.
