TOKYO: Japanese police were investigating a suspected guerrilla attack on the U.S. Army after two small explosions outside a military base south of Tokyo, police said Tuesday.

Investigators found a pair of metal tubes — apparently improvised rocket launchers aimed toward the Camp Zama base — at a nearby park, said Kanagawa prefecture (state) police spokesman Hiroyoshi Ichikawa.

Ichikawa said that he could not rule out a terrorist attack, and that suspected guerrillas, possibly leftist extremists, were likely involved. He said that further details were not immediately known, and that police were trying to identify suspects.
