OSAKA -- Police on Tuesday arrested two supporters of Japanese Red Army founder Fusako Shigenobu for allegedly harboring the fugitive while in Japan.
Akiyoshi Kataoka, a 45-year-old senior high school teacher, and Tadashi Oga, 53, who is self-employed, are members of a support group for the Lebanon-based terrorist organization, police officials alleged.
They are suspected of providing a rented apartment in Osaka's Nishinari Ward as a hideout for Shigenobu, 55, who was arrested earlier this month in Osaka Prefecture after having been on an international wanted list for about 30 years.
