NATION, Page 41American NotesNEW JERSEYTerrorist on The Turnpike
According to federal prosecutors, the terrorist Japanese Red
Army has one less soldier on active duty these days. A federal
judge in Newark last week sentenced Yu Kikumura, 36, to 30 years
in prison for possession of three pipe bombs and a false passport.
A Japanese national, Kikumura was arrested last April on the New
Jersey Turnpike by a state trooper, who says he saw the bombs in
the back seat of his car. Prosecutors believe he intended to plant
them in the New York City area in retaliation for the U.S. air raid
on Libya. U.S. District Judge Alfred J. Lechner Jr. said the bombs,
packed with black powder and lead shotgun pellets, "were intended
for flesh and blood, not bricks and mortar."
