On Aug. 21, at two in the morning an explosive was thrown into the headquarters of the organized crime syndicate Dozin-kai located in Kurume, Fukuoka. The building door’s glass was broken, but no casualties and no damage to the neighbors were reported. Fukuoka Prefectural police suspect it was related to rivalry with another organization. The house was bought for “personal use” but Fukuoka Prefectural Police consider it their headquarters. Since March 2011 there have been six incidents involving use of explosives in Fukuoka Prefecture. Source: Nishinippon Shimbun
