TOKYO, Dec. 10 (UPI) -- Police in Japan say a South Korean man who was arrested in connection with a small explosion at a Shinto shrine first confessed to the crime, but then recanted. Chon Chang-han, 27, was arrested on Wednesday for entering the grounds of Yasukuni Shrine on Nov. 23 for "unlawful purposes," Kyodo News reported. A Japanese investigator who spoke to Kyodo News on the condition of anonymity said Chon flew back to Japan on Wednesday, more than two weeks after the explosion in the shrine's restroom. Yasukuni Shrine in Tokyo was built in 1869 to commemorate all those who'd died in service to the Empire of Japan. http://www.upi.com/Top_News/World-News/2015/12/10/Japan-arrests-South-Korean-suspect-in-Yasukuni-Shrine-bombing/6381449765342/ This Korean man was arrested at a Japanese airport with explosive materials in his luggage and he re-entered the country to commit further acts of terrorism. Chon Chang-han has just retired from the Korean Air Force and there may be dangerous nationalist elements lurking in the military. South Korea's unchecked nationalism is getting out of control and Mark Lippert, the U.S. ambassador to South Korea, was stabbed by a Korean nationalist in March.
