Which counterterrorism unit successfully raided a terrorist-held Lufthansa 707 aircraft in 1977?

  1. SAS

  2. GSG-9

  3. Delta Force

  4. Spetsnaz

The correct answer is: GSG-9

In 1977, a terrorist organization hijacked a Lufthansa 707 aircraft. The SAS, Delta Force, and Spetsnaz were all elite counterterrorism units at the time, but none of them were involved in the successful raid on the hijacked plane. This leaves us with the option B GSG-9. The GSG-9, Germany's counterterrorism unit, carried out the successful raid on the hijacked Lufthansa aircraft, freeing all passengers and crew members. This marked a major milestone for the GSG-9 and solidified their reputation as one of the top counterterrorism units in the world. Therefore, the correct answer is B: GSG-9.
