US Judge Finds North Korea Guilty For 1972 Massacre At Israeli Airport International Christian Embassy Jerusalem, 21 July 2010A US federal judgehas found North Korea guilty and fined it $300 million for supporting a radical Japanese terrorist group which carried out a brutal armed assault on Israel's main airport in 1972. The petition, which was filed by the family of an American citizen killed during the attack, charged that the Japanese Red Army and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, with financial support from North Korea, targeted the Lod Airport, now Ben-Gurion International airport, killing 26 people and leaving over 80 injured. "North Korea's demonstrated and well-known policy to encourage, support and direct a campaign of murder against civilians amply justifies the imposition of punitive damages against it," said Judge Francisco A. Besosa of the US District Court in Peurto Rico during his ruling last Friday. It is considered unlikely that Pyongyang will recognize the court’s decision and pay the fine.
