Authorities on Friday rearrested a 49-year-old man who allegedly threw Molotov cocktails at the Liberal Democratic Party headquarters in Tokyo last month.
Atsunobu Usuda — whose occupation is unknown — was reportedly carrying nearly 200 liters of gasoline in his vehicle during the alleged attacks on the ruling party headquarters and also the Prime Minister’s Office, investigative sources revealed on Thursday.
Metropolitan police allege that Usuda threw Molotov cocktails at the LDP headquarters and have rearrested him on charges of violating the law against the possession of incendiary devices, as well as attempted murder.
