World Briefing | Asia: Japan: Afghan Refueling Mission ResumesThe navy destroyer Murasame left Yokosuka, to be joined by a tanker, to resume a refueling mission in the Indian Ocean as part of the American-led military effort in Afghanistan. Japan had performed the largely symbolic mission since 2001 but was forced to abandon it last fall when a divisive battle in Parliament caused a three-month suspension that was later overturned. “Japan will fulfill its global responsibilities,” Defense Minister Shigeru Ishiba said at a send-off ceremony attended by about 200 people.
