Sounds a lot more serious than the two guys seized earlier this year.  Bit 
of a shitty month all round for Japan - typhoon, quakes and now a hostage 
crisis.  Almost 100 dead in the last two weeks is going to pale in 
significance if or when we see video footage of a Japanese guy getting his 
head butchered.  Sad but true. Poor bastard.
