For millions of people who recall the 1972 Olympics in Munich and who still shudder at the memory of the slaughter unleashed by terrorists there, those words are indelible. They were spoken by ABC’s Jim Mckay — the man behind the famous “thrill of victory, agony of defeat” introduction to the network’s long-running show, Wide World of Sports — when he learned that Israeli athletes and coaches taken hostage by terrorists from the Palestinian group Black September had been murdered.
Here, on the 40th anniversary of the September morning when the terrorists first attacked members of the Israeli team in their apartments in the Olympic Village and took them hostage, LIFE.com presents Rentmeester photos that ran in LIFE a few weeks after the murders — including one image (the first in this gallery) that for countless people became the photograph from the Munich Massacre: a portrait of, in the magazine’s phrase, “a masked figure of doom.”

‘The first artificially-created human clones date back to the 1860s. Clever photographers, ever on the watch for new ideas to boost business, developed several techniques to duplicate people — causing them to appear twice in the same photograph. Special plate-holders and rotating partial lens caps were among the devices used to expose half of the negative at a time. After the first exposure, the subject of the photograph would quickly move into a different position so the second half of the picture could be made.’
