Japan's Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi (C) is led by a Shinto priest (R) as
he visits Tokyo's Yasukuni shrine August 15, 2006. Koizumi paid his
respects at Tokyo's controversial Yasukuni shrine for war dead on Tuesday, the
anniversary of his country's World War Two surrender, a parting shot sure to
enrage neighbours China and South Korea. [Reuters]
