Tokyo : Japanese police have reported Monday that a South Korean citizen who had threatened to destroy a Chinese plane was arrested in Japan, Itar-Tass reported.
As a result of the terrorist’s threats one of the Chinese planes was returned to Japan on Friday when it was half way to Shanghai.
Four other flights were delayed for a long time following bomb threats.
The 33- year-old terrorist sent a message by e- mail to the Tokyo office of Air China company, demanding that it should stop all flights; otherwise the terrorist threatened to blow up Air China planes or hijack one of them and target it at Olympic facilities in Beijing.
The Japanese government has warned that all the airline companies performing flights from Japan to China should take maximum security measures for the period of the Beijing Olympics.
