OKINAWA: Part of a US helicopter has crashed on a school in Okinawa, Japan, renewing tensions with the local population. The window dropped on the school grounds, slightly injuring one boy, news agency Kyodo said. The southern island of Okinawa hosts the largest US military presence in Japan. The US government wants to move Futenma, the largest Marine base in Okinawa, to a more remote location on the island. But the governor of Okinawa, Takeshi Onaga is leading a campaign to get the US military base off the island completely.
