I took a quick look at yomiuri.co.jp, asahi-np.co.jp, and mainichi.co.jp as well as the Japan Times web sites and with my limited Japanese knowledge, none seem to be reporting anything about Yokohama (Yomiuri and Mainichi seemed to have reports about Americans near Baghdad -- with the Yomiuri talking about 10 kilometers). Nothing looked close on the Asahi site. No clues there.

I'm sure we'll hear from AmericanInTokyo or one of the other Japanese Freepers if this is big. It could be an accident.

I found this on the BBC site CLICK HERE

Here are some excerpts:

Explosions at US base in Japan

There have been two explosions outside a US airbase in the Japanese city of Yokohama.

Police say the blasts occurred around the main gate of the Atsugi base in the Kanagawa area of the city.

Militants opposed to the war in Iraq are suspected of planting the devices, officials say.

There were no reports of casualties or damage.

Police said they found two steel pipes at a school near the military base which might have been used to fire projectiles.

Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi has been a vocal supporter of US military action in Japan, although polls show more than 60% of Japanese oppose the war.
