Tsutomu Shirosaki, a former member of the now-defunct Japanese Red Army, died Saturday at Fuchu Prison in Tokyo. He was 76. He choked on his food during dinner on the day, according to sources.
Shirosaki was serving a prison sentence for attempted murder and other charges related to a 1986 attack on the Japan Embassy in Indonesia.
He was released from prison in Japan in 1977 thanks to an extralegal measure. The measure was in response the hijacking of a Japan Airlines plane by Red Army members who forced it to land in Dhaka.
