Human jawbone found on N. Korean spy ship on display

TOKYO, Japan - An object that appears to be part of a lower human jawbone was found on the salvaged North Korean spy ship on display at a Tokyo museum and may have belonged to one of the crewmembers, the Japan Coast Guard (JCG) said on Dec. 17. The item was found by a staff member who was doing anticorrosion work on the ship that sank just about two years ago in the East China Sea off Japan after a shoot-out with JCG patrol vessels.
