The Taliban, of course, will treat any killed Americans with the utmost respect. Ahem.

Nothing unusual. Of course I keep a couple of hundred million yen around the house. Doesn´t everybody?

I believe the US government says the truth. Obama would not try to kill Iranian nuclear engineers trying to build Allahs bomb. He is busy enough picking off assorted random villagers around the world by remote controlled drones.

Here we go again. I am beginning to think the entire Japanese police force should arrest itself. Then start over.

This would be something for researchers. Any bets that none of them turns up?

All circumstantial evidence, however that is a heck of a lot of circumstance. Just how likely is it mathematically that all these guys suddenly died after giving her money...

Of course they blame Israel. That is a given.

That said, of course the Mossad would be interested in any way to slow down Irans nuclear program, It is extremely doubtful that they can actually arrange something like this inside Iran, Much more likely it is a internal opposition group.

The Stuxnet virus, of course, is a different story. It is very likely that that was concocted in Israeli Computer labs, and good job too.

I bet any amount that it was an automatic car, and he got confused with gas and brake pedal. The usual story. Old people + automatic transmission = accident waiting to happen.

Viking68:

" Still, in this case, the police could have merely met the guy at the hotel and made the arrest. "

How?? As the article states, they found the messages after the event. Besides, a love hotel is hardly a place to "meet" someone. You can be sure the two met somewhere else and then went there.

edojin:

" Well, I was riding on the Ginza Line subway when last year's March 11 quake shook Tokyo. It was a wild and woolly ride to say the least, but the driver kept repeating over the loudspeaker in Japanese (something like): "We're experiencing an earthquake. Don't be scared as this subway is safe." "

This was while the train was still moving, or after it stopped? Being a little claustrophobic even under normal circumstances, I am never happy when I have to go underground.

" You can be sure they are on their way to the North Korean death camps by now. "

No, to the contrary. They showed loyality to the regime, so they will be rewarded. And their families will be spared the concentration camp too.

bajhista65;

" his kind of business being run by the Yaks "

I guess phantasizing about "the yaks" being everywhere has a certain fascination. But again: there is no indication that there is more to this story than 2 people posting and answering messages on a bulletin board. Too boring for some, perhaps.

The Merkozy monsters continues to waste European taxpayer money on this futile project. How much more damage will they cause before address the core issue and return to national currencies.

" That introduces the possibility that they took 21 minutes to break in thinking they would save a baby. "

But sure! Knife in hand, ready to "save" the baby. I am so convinced.

" The sex trade is the bread and butter of the yakuza and if they can find a way to get involved in it they will - "

Firstly, neither of us knows for sure what "the bread and butter of the yakuza" is. Secondly, according to the article, they met on a deai site. That is basically a bulletin board. There is no need to to imagine anything more convoluted and sinister than there is. Some people here seem to want to imagine a yakuza behind every street corner...
