In the end, 26 people died and 80 people were injured. In 2008, the children of one of the victims sued North Korea for plotting the attack, one of several acts that got the rogue nation listed as a state sponsor of terrorism in 1988. At the end of the 20th century, many books about Japanese-Jewish common ancestry theory were sold. Numerous theories and explanations for the alleged Jewish control of the world were circulated. These books, called tondemo-bon (outrageous or preposterous books), contained elements of the occult and tabloid-style speculation. In 1979, a book named 日本人に謝りたい あるユダヤ人の懺悔 Nihonjin ni ayamaritai - Aru yudayajin no zange (I'd like to apologize to the Japanese: A Jewish elder's confession) was published.
