Japan ultra-right nationalist rams in barriers at Russia embassy

TOKYO, July 27 (Itar-Tass) -- A member of a Japanese ultra-right
organisation rammed by car into the police barriers at the Russian Embassy
in Tokyo. No casualties were reported in the incident, a source in the
Russian embassy told Itar-Tass on Monday.
According to the police, builder Hitoshi Kitano, 39, rammed by car at
about 23.07 Tokyo time (18.07 Moscow time) on Sunday into the metallic
barriers placed in front of the main gates of the embassy. "Still he was
detained for hampering the work of the embassy guards. The investigation
into the incident is underway. The investigators are trying to determine
the motives of this offence and its goals," a source in the Japanese main
police department told Itar-Tass.
Eyewitnesses said during the arrest the man was crying out
anti-Russian slogans, particularly demanding to return "the northern
territories", how Japan calls the Russian Southern Kuriles.
