Japan Temple Vandalized After Declining Olympic Relay, AFP Says
日本の寺、聖火リレーを辞退の直後に荒らされる
By Mayumi Otsuma
April 20 (Bloomberg) -- A Japanese Buddhist temple was vandalized
with white spray paint after it declined to host the Olympic torch relay, Agence France-Press said, citing an unidentified police spokesman.
Zenkoji Temple in Nagano Prefecture, northern Japan, refused to
serve as the starting point for the torch relay on April 26.
Six white spray paint graffiti patterns were found on pillars
and sliding doors at the main sanctuary of the 1,400- year-old
temple early today, AFP said. Police have yet to ascertain
whether the act was related to the torch relay, AFP said,
citing the spokesman.
