TOKYO (AP) - Several Japanese media outlets received a statement from a suspected Japanese ultra-leftist extremist group claiming responsibility for two small explosions outside a U.S. military base south of Tokyo, police said Saturday.
The Revolutionary Army group called the launch "an attack to sabotage" U.S. military realignment in Japan and Vice President Dick Cheney's planned visit to Japan next week, Kyodo News Agency reported.
Police were investigating Monday's attack on Camp Zama after finding a pair of metal tubes and fragments at a nearby park. There were no reports of injury or damage, and nobody has been arrested. Camp Zama is part of the sweeping U.S. military restructuring.
