What the highlighted wording does
1
㉓ Reviewed in the sweep
Ali Hassan Salameh was the Black September operations chief behind the 1972 Munich massacre of Israeli Olympic athletes. In 2020 the opening described him as chief of operations for 'Black September, the organization responsible for the 1972 Munich massacre and other terror attacks.' Today the opening calls him a 'Palestinian militant' and 'chief of operations for Black September and founder of Force 17,' with no mention of Munich massacre responsibility or terror attacks, though terror survives 4 times elsewhere in the article. A reader today learns he led Black September and founded Force 17, not that Wikipedia once identified Black September as the organization responsible for the Munich massacre and other terror attacks.
