TOKYO, (AP) - The daughter of a late Japanese prime minister received troubling mail this week - an envelope containing an empty bullet cartridge.

    

Yuko Obuchi, who is campaigning to win the Parliament seat held by her late father, Keizo Obuchi, received the anonymous mail on Monday at her Tokyo home, a police spokesman said Thursday.

    

The official said the Obuchi family returned the envelope to a local postal office because it had no sender's name or address. Police later determined that the envelope was sent from a post office in Osaka, western Japan, on Sunday.

    

Police are investigating the case on suspicion of blackmail, the spokesman said on condition of anonymity. Gun control laws are

strict in Japan, and very few people beside police, soldiers or criminals have access to firearms.

 

Keizo Obuchi died May 14 after suffering a stroke in office and being replaced by Prime Minister Yoshiro Mori. Yuko Obuchi is

running in her father's former district north of Tokyo in Sunday's lower house elections.

 

Mysterious mailings have increased recently. Last week, a 42-year-old demolition worker was arrested on suspicion of mailing

radioactive material to the prime minister's official residence and nine other government offices.

 

The amount of radioactive ore sent was too small to harm anyone.
