LOS ANGELES (AP) - FBI agents raided the U.S. headquarters of Japan's All Nippon Airways on Thursday, authorities said.
Agents executed a federal search warrant at ANA's North American customer relations and services office in Torrance early Thursday morning, said FBI spokeswoman Laura Eimiller. She declined to say why the office was under investigation because the search warrant was under seal.
In a statement issued by ANA's headquarters in Tokyo, the company said it had not yet confirmed the reason for the investigation.
"There is no suspicion of terrorism and the ANA flights are operating normally," the statement said.
The center resumed operating late in the afternoon.
As Japan's second-largest airline by revenue, ANA flies to 50 destinations in Japan and 24 cities throughout Asia, Europe and the United States. The company also has assets in land, air transport, travel, hotels and other businesses.
