US Marine indicted for murder and robbery in Okinawa
Original: US Marine indicted over suspected murder, robbery of woman in Okinawa
A US Marine has been formally indicted in Japan over the suspected murder and robbery of a woman in Okinawa. The case is drawing attention in Japan, where the heavy American military presence on Okinawa has long been a source of tension, and crimes involving US service members frequently renew debate over the bilateral forces agreement and base footprint.
Why now: Crimes involving US military personnel in Okinawa routinely reignite local anger and debate over the American bases there.
