The Second Irgun was a Twenty-second Century terrorist group seeking the restoration of the State of Israel. During the sixty-sixth Winter Olympic Games, the Second Irgun appeared to murder three athletes on Mimas, a moon of Saturn, while they competed in the five-kilometer ski jump. However, the next day, Menachem, a spokesman for the organization, denied their involvement. While not the most convincing of denials, the Second Irgun had claimed responsibility in the past for other atrocities. It was unusual for them to deny they carried out an attack and so it carried some weight.
