No explanation on how their acts would overthrow Japan? Seems like much of it was in other parts of the world. Beetle B.
No one ever said terrorists had to make sense. --82.2.117.234 19:33, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

- I think Fusako Shigenobu's logic was to work with existing terror networks, in solidarity with existing campaigns, rather than "starting from scratch." They were always a bit fuzzy (as far as I can tell) with how they planned a Japanese/world revolution, or what they wanted the post-revolutionary world to look like. -Danspalding 00:50, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
More unbiased language please. Although politics is turbulent, I took liberty to change "murderers" to "members" because murder has negative (biased) rather than neutral and objective connotations.Aminatam 13:57, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
How could the JRA have been responsible for the 1970 JAL hijacking when the group wasn't founded until February 1971? Another source (http://japanfocus.org/113.html) credits this action to a different group, which would make more sense.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 66.138.132.149 (talk • contribs) 20:58, 8 March 2006.
- Good point; the 1970 JAL hijacking was actually the work of the Japanese Communist League - Red Army Faction. However, Fusako Shigenobu, founder of the JRA proper, and several members were originally part of the Red Army Faction. The leadership of the RAF were on the plane that went to South Korea, and were out of the picture for years afterwards. This should be clarified in the article. -Danspalding 00:50, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
Under aliases is Holy War Brigade listed which is a pseudonym I don't believe a communist group would operate under. It is however a common problem that mentally unstable persons call the police after terrorist attacks and taking the blame on behalf of existing or even made up organisations. I strongly belive that this is one such incident. Good article, but no number of dead from the 1977 plane crash is cited. Neither any years on the last actions on the list.

BTW wasn't the two Lod attackers in '72 killed by israeli gunfire??? Did they really blow themselves up???.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 84.210.117.113 (talk • contribs) 00:30, 30 March 2006.
