Japan summons US envoy after marine held in Okinawa murder case
Original: Japan summons US envoy as marine arrested over Okinawa murder
Japan has summoned the United States' top diplomat in Tokyo after an American marine was arrested in connection with the murder of a woman in Okinawa. The killing has reignited long-standing anger among Okinawans over the heavy US military presence on the island and the strained jurisdictional arrangements that apply to American service personnel stationed there.
Why now: The arrest of a US service member in a violent crime on Okinawa reopens sensitive disputes over America's military bases in Japan.
