	Lod Airport massacre - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		On May 30, 1972 three members of the Japanese Red Army undertook a terrorist attack at Lod Airport in Tel Aviv on behalf of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine.
		Because airport security was focused on the possibility of a Palestinian attack, the use of Japanese terrorists took guards by surprise, and the commitment to a suicide mission simplified planning.
		This was to portray it as revenge for the 1948 Deir Yassin massacre by Jewish Irgun members on Palestinian civilians in the Deir Yassin village.
