(2)Diary hinting at Japan spying on Soviet Union found

YAMAGUCHI, Japan - A diary written by Mitsuo Ozaki (1902-1985), a Japanese government official sent to Afghanistan in the 1930s, has been found in Yamaguchi Prefecture. The diary suggests that the Afghan government became irritated with Japan over its espionage activities directed against the Soviet Union prior to World War II. It was found at the home of Ozaki's son, Yukinori, in Hofu, Yamaguchi Prefecture.
