Japan has decided to allow former world chess champion Bobby Fischer to travel to Iceland, despite US requests for his extradition, Japanese media say.

Japan's justice ministry made the decision after being shown documents proving Mr Fischer had been granted Icelandic citizenship, reports said.

The American has already been detained for eight months near Tokyo.

He is wanted in the US for breaking international sanctions by playing a match in Yugoslavia in 1992.

Mr Fischer, 62, was granted Icelandic citizenship after a vote in the country's parliament on Monday.

I'm just wondering if we're going to start arresting soldiers when they come back from Iraq too. After all they also went into a country which was under international sanctions

I imagine the rest of the world is laughing their asses off as the US government tries to prosecute someone for breaking international law.
