| 2015-07-01 |
| [INDEPENDENT.IE] A man travelling on one of Japan's high-speed bullet trains set himself on fire today, killing himself and another passenger as the carriage filled with smoke. Police confirmed the death of a female passenger and said the man who started the fire is also apparently dead, but the extent of his burns is delaying formal confirmation. National broadcaster NHK and other media outlets reported the deaths of the male and female passengers. The passenger is believed to have poured oil over his head before setting himself on fire. Officials said the fire was at the front of the first carriage of the train. The incident happened as the train passed near Odawara city, west of Tokyo, on its way to Osaka. |

| #8 As per #6, "Surprise, surprise, surprise, Sgt. Carter" the Nippon Commies are becoming active again at roughly the same time the ISIS/ISIL has threatened to bring Jihad to Japan + East Asia. Don't be surprised iff mainstream Japan's Shintoists + Buddhists, etc. start becoming radical/militant like India's Hindus vee rising Islamist threat. |
