Japan justice minister quits

TOKYO, Japan - Japanese Justice Minister Minoru Yanagida bows at the end of a press conference at the Justice Ministry in Tokyo on Nov. 22, 2010, after announcing his resignation. Prime Minister Naoto Kan effectively sacked Yanagida for recent ill-chosen remarks so the government could deflect criticism by the opposition camp and enlist its help in a bid to have an extra budget clear parliament.
