The Japanese Red Army (Nihon Sekigun, abbreviated JRA) is a communist militant group founded by Fusako Shigenobu in February 1971 alongside Tsuyoshi Okudaira.
After the Lod airport massacre, it sometimes calls itself Arab-JRA.
The JRA's stated goals are to overthrow the Japanese government and the monarchy, as well as to start a world revolution.
The group is also known as the Anti-Imperialist International Brigade (AIIB), the Holy War Brigade, and the Anti-War Democratic Front.
