Definition

  • The Japanese Red Army (JRA) was a 1970s terrorist group famous for its actions on behalf of Palestinian nationalism, including a 1972 massacre at Israel's Ben-Gurion Airport. The JRA arose from the Japanese student protest movement of the mid-to late 1960s. [Source: Encyclopedia of Terrorism; Japanese Red Army]
