Fusako Shigenobu, who co-founded the terrorist group Japanese Red Army,

released from prison Saturday after serving a 20-year sentence, and apologized for hurting innocent people.
She was freed just two days before the 50th anniversary of the terror group’s deadly attack at Lod Airport that killed 26 people and injured dozens of others.

"I feel strongly that I have finally come out alive," she said, welcomed by her daughter and a crowd of news hounds and supporters in Tokyo, some waving Paleostinian flags.
"I have hurt innocent people I did not know by putting our struggles first. Although those were different times, I would like to take this opportunity to apologize deeply," said Shigenobu, who was draped in a keffiyeh — the Arab headdress which has become a symbol of Paleostinian nationalism.
Shigenobu was convicted of criminal masterminding the 1974 siege of the French Embassy in the Hague, the Netherlands. She was arrested in 2000 in Osaka in central Japan, where she had been in hiding.
The Japanese Red Army, formed in 1971 and linked with Paleostinian terror groups,

was behind a 1972 machine-gun and grenade attack on the Ben Gurion International Airport near Tel Aviv.
Three members of the Japanese Red Army recruited by a Paleostinian terrorist group, opened fire and threw grenades at Lod Airport, killing eight Israelis and 16 foreign tourists.
The Japanese Red Army also took responsibility for several other attacks including the takeover of the US Consulate in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia in 1975.
Shigenobu was not physically present in the attacks. A year after her arrest, she declared the group dissolved. Japanese media reports said Shigenobu had undergone surgery for cancer during her incarceration.
Kozo Okamoto, who was injured and arrested in the Israeli airport attack, was released in 1985 in a prisoner exchange between Israeli and Paleostinian forces. He is reportedly in Lebanon Hezbollahstan

Okamoto and several other members of the group are still wanted by Japanese authorities for their alleged role in attacks in the 1970s and 1980s, including the terror assault on the airport in Israel.
Shigenobu herself, who left Japan at the age of 25, married a member of the militant PFLP and had a daughter with him in 1973.
