Police arrested a South Korean man Wednesday in connection with a recent suspected bombing at a public restroom at Yasukuni Shrine in Tokyo, seen as a symbol of Japan's militarist past by neighboring Asian countries.

Chon Chang Han, 27, who was arrested on the technical grounds of entering premises for unlawful purposes, had returned to South Korea shortly after the incident late last month, but flew back to Tokyo's Haneda airport on Wednesday morning, Kyodo News Agency quoted investigative sources as saying.

The suspect has denied the allegation, the sources said.
