GJIt was the second attack in the last 20 years against a mayor of Nagasaki, which was destroyed by a U.S. atomic bomb in 1945 and whose leaders have actively campaigned against militarism.
In 1990, Mayor Hitoshi Motoshima was shot and seriously wounded after saying that Japan's emperor, beloved by rightists, bore some responsibility for World War II.
Tuesday's attack appeared to involve a more trivial matter, however.
Shiroo reportedly clashed with Nagasaki city officials in 2003 after his car was damaged when he drove into a hole at a public works site. He tried unsuccessfully to get compensation from the city after his insurance company refused to pay up, according to Japanese broadcaster NHK...

3rd man arrested in Nagasaki mayor murder probe
Tuesday, May 1, 2007 at 07:02 EDT
NAGASAKI — Police arrested another man early Tuesday on suspicion of abetting the murder of then Nagasaki Mayor Itcho Ito earlier this month by keeping a watch on his movements for the gangster who shot him to death, officials said.
The arrest of Masaki Yamashita, 29, a driver for the gangster Tetsuya Shiroo, 59, comes shortly after Nagasaki police arrested Hiromi Ogawa, 60, a local construction company president who is suspected of giving a ride to Shiroo on the day of the murder. Yamashita, who turned himself in late Monday, is suspected of keeping a close watch on the mayor's movements on the day of his murder at a spot about 700 meters away from the scene of the murder. Yamashita has told the police he acted as a lookout but that he did not think Shiroo would kill Ito, officials said.
