Title: Japan To Probe WWII Brothels
Post by: Foxy Brown on March 08, 2007, 05:40:43 PM

Under intense pressure from Asia and the United States, Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said Thursday that ruling party lawmakers will conduct a fresh investigation into the Japanese military's alleged forced sexual slavery of women during World War II.

Abe triggered outrage in China, North and South Korea and the Philippines last week by saying there was no proof the women were coerced. He said Monday that Japan will not apologize again for the Japanese militarys "comfort stations." (http://www.time.com/time/world/article/0,8599,1597268,00.html)
