Japan on highest terror alert

TOKYO - Japan raised its terror alert to its highest level yesterday.

Heavily armed police were mobilised around airports, nuclear plants and government offices to guard against a possible attack, an official said.
It was the first time the government had gone on such a heightened alert since the US-led military attack on Iraq last year.

A National Police Agency official refused to say whether the government had new information about a possible terror strike. The official said riot police would guard Tokyo and Kansai international airports and nuclear power and reprocessing facilities. -- AP

Interesting... and also scary. Being an ally of the US is never easy when you have punks like Al Qaeda out there.

It would be nice if they would share the reason for this action. I hope at least they are in contact with our Homeland Securities Department.

Maybe...but, think of all those "near-misses" the Japanese have had...Mothra, Rodin, Mega-Godzilla, to name a few.

After all THAT, what's a little Al Qaida? :eek:
