US ambassador to Japan, Caroline Kennedy Gets Death Threats In Japan

Caroline Kennedy, the US ambassador to Japan and the daughter of JFK, has received calls threatening to kill her.
Japanese police are investigating phone calls threatening to kill US Ambassador Caroline Kennedy.
Authorities in Tokyo said that the calls were made to the US Embassy and threatened to kill Ms Kennedy, the daughter of US President John F Kennedy and First Lady Jacqueline.
Similar calls threatened Alfred Magleby, the US consul general based on the southern island of Okinawa, where 25,000 American troops are based.
The calls came weeks after the US ambassador to South Korea, Mark Lippert, was knifed by an anti-American activist in Seoul and had to be spend several days in hospital.
Japanese media reports said that the death threats came last month from a caller speaking in English, and that police were looking into the case on suspicion of blackmailing.
