Kozo OKAMOTO ion Handschellen

May 30, 1972 - Tel Aviv, Israel - Three members of the Japanese Red Army undertook a terrorist attack on behalf of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine at Tel Aviv's Lod airport (now Ben Gurion International Airport). Because airport security was focused on the possibility of a Palestinian attack, the use of Japanese terrorists took the guards by surprise, and their commitment to a suicide mission simplified the planning. KOZO OKAMOTO, Tsuyoshi Okudaira, and Yasuyuki Yasuda had been trained in Baalbek, Lebanon. PICTURED: A member of the Japanese Red Army, terrorist KOZO OKAMOTO in handcuffs
