Japan: Radioactive Drone Lands on Roof of Prime Minister's Office 
------------------------------------------------------------------


 
Authorities in Japan are investigating the appearance of a drone
containing possible radioactive material on the roof of Prime Minister
Shinzo Abe's office. Radioactive cesium was detected in the area after
the drone was found carrying a bottle of liquid bearing the symbol for
radioactivity. The drone's discovery came as a Japanese court approved
the restart of a nuclear power station as part of Prime Minister Abe's
push to return to nuclear power following the Fukushima meltdown in
2011.
