Arson Attack in Kyoto, Japan, Kills 33
--------------------------------------

In Kyoto, Japan, 33 people were killed Thursday after a man burst into
an animation studio, doused the three-story building with a flammable
liquid and set it on fire. Police arrested a 41-year-old man after the
arson attack on the Kyoto Animation company. Witnesses reportedly heard
the suspect shout "they stole my ideas" and "they copied my novel" as
police arrested him. If convicted, the man could face the death penalty.
