<DIV id=mainbody><NOMOOTER></NOMOOTER>
<P id=paragrah><FONT face=Tahoma>NAGOYA (Kyodo) A suspicious object on a train
in Aichi Prefecture that was later confirmed to be a radio device left behind by
a passenger caused a three-hour disruption Sunday evening on Nagoya Railroad
Co.'s Komaki Line, police and railway officials said.</FONT></P>
<P id=paragrah><FONT face=Tahoma>It took about three hours after the object was
found and taken off the train to determine <STRONG>it was a ham radio Morse code
transmitter</STRONG>, which a 47-year-old company employee left behind on his
way home after attending an amateur radio event in western Japan, the police
said.</FONT></P>
<P id=paragrah><FONT face=Tahoma>After receiving a passenger report shortly past
8 p.m. that a suspicious bag was on the four-car train bound for the city of
Inuyama from Nagoya, railway officials moved it to nearby Kasugai Station and
called the police, they said.</FONT></P>
<P id=paragrah><FONT face=Tahoma>This led to the disruption of 25 train runs
between Komaki and Nagoya from around 8 p.m. to 11:15
p.m.</FONT></P></DIV></DIV>
