Suspect says Koda killed because Japan did not withdraw troops

AMMAN, Jordan - A suspect in the October 2004 slaying of Japanese backpacker Shosei Koda (in file photo) in Iraq has said Koda was killed because Japan did not follow his abductors' demand to withdraw Ground Self-Defense Force from Iraq, a senior Iraqi police official said on March 2. Japan is trying to verify information that the Iraqi authorities have arrested a suspect in the killing of the 24-year-old Japanese man who was traveling in Iraq, the Japanese Embassy in Iraq said.
