> Nahoko Takato and Noriaki Imai, two hostages freed by their Iraqi captors,
>arrived in Japan on Sunday and have gone into hiding.

> > TOKYO, April 22 ? The young Japanese civilians taken hostage in Iraq
returned home this week, not to the warmth of a yellow-ribbon embrace but to
a disapproving nation's cold stare.

> > Three of them, including a woman who helped street children on the streets
>of Baghdad, appeared on television two weeks ago as their knife-brandishing
>kidnappers threatened to slit their throats.
>A few days after their release, they landed here on Sunday, in the eye of a
peculiarly Japanese storm.
> > "You got what you deserve!" read one hand-written sign at the airport where
they landed. "You are Japan's shame," another wrote on the Web site of one of
the former hostages. They had "caused trouble" for everybody.
>The government, not to be outdone, announced it would bill the former hostages
$6,000 for air fare.
