Red Army hijacker may have been killed by colleagues

TOKYO, Japan - An internationally wanted Japanese terrorist leader has suggested one of the nine Red Army faction members who defected to North Korea after hijacking a plane in 1970 was killed by fellow hijackers, supporters of the leader say July 20 in Tokyo. Fusako Shigenobu, the 53-year-old leader of the Japanese Red Army she founded in 1971, said Takeshi Okamoto (file photo), who reportedly died around 1988, was ''purged just as with the case of the United Red Army,'' the supporters tell Kyodo News.

          (240508) -- TIANJIN, May 8, 2024 (Xinhua) -- This undated file photo shows a Ma's filigree mosaic artwork. Ma's Filigree Mosaic art, a city-level intangible cultural heritage in Tianjin, attracted the attention of the whole country when an accessory made with it appeared on the head of a Chinese actress during the Spring Festival Gala of the Year of the Dragon, staged by China Central Television, also called CCTV. Filigree Mosaic art, first seen in the Spring and Autumn period (770 B.C.-476 B.C.), greeted its peak season in the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644). The craft, having a history of more than 2,000 years, goes through complicated procedures and was listed as a national-level intangible cultural heritage in 2008. Two main steps are involved in the craft, namely making filigree and making mosaic. Using malleable materials such as gold and sliver to make thin threads and then forming different shapes is called filigree art. Inlaying pearls or gems on shaped metal frames is called mosaic art.

              CHINA-HEBEI-SHIJIAZHUANG-ZHAOZHOU BRIDGE (CN)

              (240508) -- BEIJING, May 8, 2024 (Xinhua) -- This file photo shows the carving patterns on the Zhaozhou Bridge in Zhaoxian County, north China's Hebei Province. Built in the Sui Dynasty (581-618), the 1,400-year-old Zhaozhou Bridge stands over the Xiaohe River in Zhaoxian County, Hebei Province. It is the world's oldest single-arch bridge. A combination of location, design and excellent construction are the main reasons why the bridge has withstood earthquake, flood and war for 1,400 years. Along with such world-famous landmarks as the Forbidden City and the Great Wall, the bridge was listed into China's first group of national cultural heritage protection sites in 1961. Nowadays, the Zhaozhou Bridge scenic area has been open to public for free, bringing numerous tourists into the county. (Photo by Zhu Tao/Xinhua)
