TOKYO - JAPAN is starting to excavate the site of a former medical school linked to Unit 731, a germ and biological warfare outfit that may reveal grisly secrets from World War II.
Shadowy experiments conducted by the unit have never been officially acknowledged by the government but have been documented by historians and participants.
It is the first government probe of the Tokyo site, following a former nurse's revelation in 2006 that she helped bury body parts there as American forces began occupying the capital at the end of the war.
They say any human bones or other artifacts will be thoroughly investigated.ORIGINAL SOURCE
