Hear hear; BTTT, etc. I've often thought of collecting their desperate and completely botched efforts to be first into a "Foxed by FOX" thread.

There is a really big middle east, muslim, community in Tokyo.
OTH, homemade rocket attacks are the trademark of the Kakumaruha faction. Sometimes Chukakuha.
Both lefty groups, both fairly radical.
They would attack the base just because it was there and they got bored.
"gorilla" attacks in Japan are nothing to sneeze at!
Thank you for the link
The blast occurred shortly after 11:00 pm Monday (1400 GMT) at a public park 500 metres (yards) from the US armys Camp Zama, in Kanagawa, 40 kilometres (25 miles) southwest of Tokyo, police said. No one was injured in the attack, a Zama police spokesman said.
Police found a projectile launcher, a metal pipe about 55 centimetres (22 inches) long and about 5.5 centimetres in diameter, at the park as well as scorch marks on the ground, he said.
The metal launcher was aimed at the US base and we suspect it was a guerrilla attack, the official said, referring to Japanese radicals. Police found a second launcher, identical in design to the first pipe, and batteries in a thicket outside the park. We have yet to find any explosives and I cannot confirm any projectiles actually entered the camp, he said.
Yeah I was just looking here http://www.tkb.org/Country.jsp?countryCd=JA and I'd guess Revolutionary Army or Kakurokyo.
Japan ping.

KADENA, Japan (AP) _ The arrival in Japan of a detachment of the United States' newest and most expensive fighter has been delayed.
The twelve F-22 stealth fighters were to arrive on Kadena Air Base on this southern Japan base on Saturday, but had to turn back after leaving Hawaii.
It is the aircraft's first overseas deployment.
Officials at Kadena and at Hickam Air Force Base in Hawaii were unable to immediately confirm why the arrival was delayed.

Very strange
That's a report from 2002
Looks like it.
Or Chinese: a big explosion at a US base with Japanese casualties will be a big headache for US/Japan relations.
Ping cause I get lost easily.
Thai'land?
Waffen Amish.
