A 70-year-old man confessed to being a former member of a Japanese far-left group on the run for nearly 50 years. Satoshi Kirishima was wanted for one of a series of terrorist bombings in 1970s Japan.
The man was part of the Anti-Japanese Armed Front of East Asia, a far- left revolutionary organization that carried out bombings against major Japanese companies. He managed to hide by working under a false name for a construction company southwest of Tokyo for decades. Police have confirmed through DNA test results that a man who died last month after confessing he was Satoshi KirISHima was the suspect.
