Explosion kills Self Defense Force First SergeantDate Posted: 2003-09-06 Police are trying to determine how the unexploded ordnance had come to the sergeant’s possession. The Okinawa Prefecture Police and Okinawa City Police have set up a special task force to investigate. The investigators reportedly found several American military-type bullets and 28 grenades in the dead man’s car, which was parked at the junkyard. They want to know where they originally came from, and want answers about other military hardware that was found. The dead soldier was reportedly an avid collector of military-related items. He was also regularly selling his wares at Chibana flea market on weekends. The police had arrested him once on suspicion of illegal possession of gunpowder. However, prosecutors decided not to indict him. |
