BRIEFLY . . .
Eight Dutch citizens who were held by Japan as prisoners of war filed suit
Tuesday against the Japanese government, becoming the first Westerners to go
to court to demand compensation from Tokyo for suffering during World War II.
The lawsuit asks the equivalent of $22,000 for each plaintiff.
