an explosion - not necessarily a bomb
A small explosion reported at US Army base at Camp Zama, at Kyodo, south of Tokyo. Local police have found the remains of what they are describing as a "launch pad" and believe it was used in some form of attack. No injuries reported

It was a small pipe bomb
Link to article below. If the idea of any Al Qaeda is remotely considered I bet that the next step would be that the Japanese Immigration and National Police authorities will do a immigration sweep. They will go everywhere and look for people who fit their profiles and send them out of the country. Typical reaction from the Japanese police.

It's probably a leftist outfit like the Chukakuha who did that. Homemade mortar/rocket devices are a specialty of theirs. February 11th would usually make one think it was the right, but they don't have anything against the US military and aren't into bombs. Could be just one misfit-type who learned how to make a bomb on the internet.

Well, they believe it was a small bomb. It's just an explosion offically, though. It went off near a US military base in Japan. Nobody was hurt, however, and nobody really seems to care.

A definite case of time travel here.
I think I should warn you to stay away from Nagasaki in three days time.
