On this day: North Korea fined for terrorist attack

Thirty-eight years on from the terrorist attack at Ben Gurion International airport in Israel – known at the time as the Lod Airport massacre - North Korea was finally fined nearly £200 million for supporting terrorists in an attack that killed 26 people.

The US Federal Court found North Korea guilty of aiding the terrorist's mission and of giving them material support.

The attack, which saw three Japanese terrorists throw hand grenades and shoot relentlessly and mercilessly at passengers, injured a further 80 people. It also led to increased political tension between Israel and Japan.

Two of the shooters were killed in the attack, with only one - Kozo Okamoto -surviving. All three were later identified as members of the far left terrorist organisation Japanese Red Army, linked to the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine.
