Fusako Shigenobu  

Définition

  • A wing of the Japanese Red Army (JRA) founded by Fusako Shigenobu was responsible for a series of terrorist attacks, including a 1972 attack on Ben Gurion Airport (now Lod Airport) in Tel Aviv. Born in Tokyo, Japan, Fusako Shigenobu was an active student member of the Red Army Faction (Sekigun-ha) in the 1960s, while she was working part-time for the Kikkoman Corporation and going to night school at Meiji University. The Red Army, a radical leftist group, wanted to drive out the democratic government and end American involvement in the country so that Japan could become a communist state.
