ROK Lodges Complaint Over Release of Name of Accused Shrine Bomber

It seems to me this diplomatic complaint is only going to feed the perception of this guy being a martyr for bombing the Yasukuni Shrine which will only encourage other people looking for attention to do the same thing:

The Foreign Ministry said Thursday it has lodged a strong complaint with Japan over Japanese media outlets’ reports that made public the identity of a South Korean man allegedly involved in a small explosion at a restroom at a war shrine in Tokyo.

“Through a diplomatic channel, the government filed a complaint with Tokyo earlier in the day over Japanese media’s coverage of the incident, as they revealed his identity, photo and name,” ministry spokesman Cho June-hyuck told reporters.

Japanese media reported that police arrested the 27-year-old man, identified only by his surname Chon, on Wednesday in connection with the explosion in a public restroom at the Yasukuni Shrine last month that caused no major damage.

He was arrested shortly after voluntarily returning to Tokyo by plane on Wednesday.  [Yonhap]
