Japanese Red Army terrorists have fanned out from Middle East bases after training alongside Palestinian guerrillas and have headed to South Korea and other targets related to the Olympic Games, security officials in various countries told United Press International. At least three operatives of the Red Army, whose members number only about 30 but include some of the world’s most ruthless terrorists, are believed to have made their way since last year toward Seoul, South Korea, traveling on stolen Japanese passports. “The Seoul Olympics are one of its targets,” an official of Japan’s National Police Agency said.
