Never found by police, how Japan's most wanted terrorist hid for nearly 50 years

A dying man in Japan who claimed to be the decades-wanted terrorist Satoshi Kirishima is indeed him, a DNA test he underwent has revealed.
Kirishima, days before his death in January, admitted to police that he is the terrorist they have been looking for since the 1970s for his involvement in a criminal group. "I want to meet death with my real name", he said.
Although Kirishima's face appeared on wanted posters, it is not known how he managed to remain undiscovered for so many years, the BBC reports. Even his neighbors were surprised that the "quiet and serious man" who lived next to them was wanted.
Kirishima was involved in a terrorist group that planted bombs at several companies in the mid-1970s. In one of the attacks, at Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, eight people were killed and more than 150 were injured. He was never arrested, but managed to live under an alias, without the authorities finding him.
Japanese media reported that he lived in the city of Fujisawa, near Tokyo, under the name Hiroshi Uchida. He worked for a construction company and was paid in cash to avoid detection.
He had no cell phone, no driver's license, but no health insurance.
The secret was revealed by him when he was hospitalized with terminal cancer. Before he died on January 29, aged 70, he revealed details of his actions to police, although he denied some of the allegations against him.
