U.S. Troops Face Okinawa Curfew

The U.S. military ordered a 48-hour pause in Okinawa operations after Japanese police arrested Marine Lance Cpl. Devin Jacob Ballard, 20. Police suspect Ballard of robbing and killing hotel worker Anna Yagi, 39, while Ballard denies the allegations. Okinawa hosts a large share of U.S. forces and installations in Japan, and residents have long cited noise, pollution and crime. The case has revived anger over past serious crimes involving U.S. personnel, including two high-profile rape and killing cases. The military said the pause includes training, limits on leaving base and alcohol restrictions. Afterward, troops face a 30-day midnight-to-5 a.m. curfew. The military said it will review liberty rules.
