Red Army Suspect Arrested in Tokyo

Yu Kikumura, a suspected former member of the now-defunct Japanese Red Army terror group, arrives at Narita International Airport after his deportation from the U.S. following a prison sentence in Narita, near Tokyo, Thursday, April 19, 2007. Japanese police arrested Kikumura, 54, immediately after his arrival at the airport on suspicion that he used a fake international driver's license to drive in the U.S. before his arrest. Police believe Kikumura was a member of the Japanese Red Army - a violent ultra-leftist group sympathetic to Palestinian causes - and plan to investigate his role in the group's alleged 1972 attack on the international airport in Tel Aviv, Israel. The machine-gun and grenade attack killed 24 people. (AP Photo/Kyodo News) TOKYO (AP) - Police arrested a suspected former member of the defunct Japanese Red Army terror group at Tokyo's airport Thursday after his deportation from the U.S. following a prison term, officials said.

U.S. authorities arrested Yu Kikumura, 54, in April 1988. He was sentenced in 1991 to 21 years and 10 months in prison for driving with homemade bombs in his car in New Jersey.

He was paroled and deported earlier Thursday.
