The Bijzondere Bijstands Eenheid (Special Assistance Unit, BBE) is a Dutch counterterrorism unit. It is part of Netherlands Marine Corps and was founded in the 1970s after the Munich massacre at the Olympics on 5 September, 1972, when eight Palestinian terrorists took hostage and then murdered nine Israeli athletes and two others in an incident that showed the West's unpreparedness for terrorist acts. The unit's motto is "Semper Paratus pro Justitia", which means "Always Ready for Justice". History On February 22nd 1973 the Dutch government decided to create a special counterterrorist unit. The Dutch Marine Corps was selected because of its bad image at the time; the idea was that people's opinion would change about the Corps. The Dutch Marine Corps had a reputation as hardened, professional soldiers. Today the unit has more than 150 members, all drawn from the Marine Corps and individually selected. It
