Hijacker Tanaka fails to appeal extradition from Thailand
BANGKOK, Thailand - Yoshimi Tanaka (in this file photo), a Japanese fugitive who was ordered by a Thai criminal court to be extradited to Japan on hijacking charges, will be handed over to Japanese authorities soon, possibly in a week or two, after his right to appeal expired June 9 without him exercising it. A Bangkok court ruled May 25 that Tanaka, 51, a former member of the ultra-leftist Red Army faction, be extradited to Japan to face hijacking and terrorism charges.
