TOKYO (AP) — Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe (shin-zoh ah-bay) is staying away from a Tokyo shrine that honors convicted war criminals among the war dead, apparently not to spark controversy from neighboring countries as Japan marks the 71st anniversary of the end of World War II. Abe's last visit in 2012 drew sharp rebukes from China and South Korea. They see Yasukuni as a symbol of Japan's wartime militarism. Abe will attend a state memorial ceremony Monday.
