China angered by Japan's U.N. bid for kamikaze pilot letters

BEIJING (Reuters) - China condemned on Monday plans by a Japanese city to ask the U.N. world heritage organisation to register letters by World War Two kamikaze suicide pilots alongside documents that include the diaries of Anne Frank and the Magna Carta.

The southern Japanese city of Minami Kyushu had last week asked UNESCO to register the wills and farewell letters of the pilots who had carried out attacks on allied ships to highlight the importance of world peace.
