On 30 August 1974, a terrorist bombing of the Mitsubishi Heavy Industries headquarters in Tokyo, Japan, killed eight people and injured at least 376 others. The bombing was committed by the East Asia Anti-Japan Armed Front, a far-left Japanese militant organization, against Mitsubishi Heavy Industries for supplying the United States Armed Forces during the Vietnam War. The 1974 Mitsubishi Heavy Industries bombing was the deadliest terrorist attack in Japan until the Tokyo subway sarin attack in 1995.
