Chatan Town Assembly in Okinawa Demands US Marines' Pullout

The Chatan town assembly in Okinawa Prefecture on Thursday unanimously adopted two resolutions demanding the withdrawal of all U.S. Marines from the prefecture and the resignation of the top U.S. commander in Okinawa.

During an extraordinary session, the town assembly passed both resolutions prompted by a series of recent arson attacks in the town, just northeast of prefectural capital Naha, allegedly committed by a U.S. serviceman, and an e-mail by Lt. Gen. Earl Hailston, commander of the U.S. forces in Okinawa Prefecture, who called local Japanese officials ''nuts'' and ''wimps.''
