Japanese police have arrested a US marine on suspicion of killing a woman, according to reports. The arrest is likely to renew attention on the status of US forces in Japan, where crimes involving American service members have repeatedly strained relations between the two allies and fuelled local protests, particularly in Okinawa, where much of the US military presence is based.
Why now: Crimes involving US military personnel in Japan are highly sensitive and typically trigger public debate over the US-Japan security arrangement.
