LONDON (AP) — Complaining that the Olympic movement is still ignoring their pain, Israelis marked the 40th anniversary of the Munich massacre on Sunday with a modest service in the atrium of a London apartment block.

Prayers were read for the 11 murdered Israelis and wreaths were laid for them about four miles (six kilometers) from the Olympic Stadium.

However, there will be no minute's silence for them at Friday's opening ceremony.

Israeli Olympic Committee secretary general Efraim Zinger says "it's been 40 years since that dreadful day and I hope that the day will come that the IOC will recognize all 11 athletes as victims and find the proper way to commemorate their memory."

Neither the IOC nor the London organizing committee was represented at Sunday's makeshift memorial service, where a plaque featuring the victims' names was unveiled.
