Excitement

A few days ago, you may have seen news about attacks on Camp Zama...it's not the first time, as there are folks here in Japan opposed to our presence here. As it turns out, it was the so called usual suspects who used their typical MO of improvised mortars that were fired from a nearby park. The attacks happened late at night, and caused no damage or injuries. The police continue to investigate.

The funny thing was seeing a post on ABC News' blog that speculated that this was an attack by Al Qaeda in Japan. It seemed ludicrous to those of us here, but made its way to the top Google posting as a result. That was probably ABC's aim all along.

Anyhow, all is fine. Neither of us were anywhere around...
