Ishihara suggests bomb at Tanaka home meant to draw sympathy

TOKYO, Japan - Tokyo Gov. Shintaro Ishihara, addressing a gathering of a group supporting the families of abductees to North Korea on Oct. 28, suggested that a bomb-like object found at the house of Deputy Foreign Minister Hitoshi Tanaka in September was meant to gain him sympathy. ''There was no fuse and it didn't explode, right? There are rumors that someone speaking ill of us did it to draw people's sympathy,'' Ishihara said.
