The echoes of Former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, who the whole world is talking about, died in an armed attack in the city of Nara, where he gave his election speech. New details about the assassination that shook the world continue to emerge. Finally, it was learned that the killer changed his target due to Kovid-19. Here are the Abe assassination and the new details that have emerged…
THE ORGANIZATION LEADER CHANGED HIS TARGET TO ABE BECAUSE HE DID NOT COME TO JAPAN DUE TO COVID-19
The 41-year-old attacker, Tetsuya Yamagami, reportedly said that he initially planned to kill the leader of the religious organization, whom his mother blamed for its financial collapse, and even prepared a Molotov cocktail to attack the leader, who came to Japan before the Covid-19 outbreak. It was noted that Yamagami, who stated that he went to an event area in Aichi to kill the group leader, could not find the opportunity to carry out the attack. It was reported that the attacker changed his target to Abe, since the leader of the organization did not come to Japan after the Covid-19 outbreak. It was announced that Yamagami had previously considered going to South Korea to assassinate the group leader, but shelved the plan because it was difficult to leave the country.
It turned out that he had a grudge because of his mother’s bankruptcy.
Former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, who holds the title of the country’s longest-serving prime minister, was gunned down in the city of Nara, where he delivered an election speech last Friday. The suspect, Yamagami, a former Japan Self-Defense Forces (SDF) personnel, emerged that he said attacked Abe because of his affiliation with a religious group that his mother blamed for his financial collapse. The attacker, who said that his mother had dragged his family into economic disaster by making large donations to the religious group in question, also admitted that he had a grudge against Abe, claiming that Abe’s former prime minister grandfather was the first to bring the group to Japan.
AN EXPLANATION HAS BEEN FOUND FROM THE RELIGIOUS GROUP
In the statement made by the Family Federation for World Peace and Unification (Unification Church), which was the subject of the allegations, it was confirmed that the attacker’s mother was a follower of the group. Despite this, it was noted that people donate voluntarily and decide on their own donation amounts, while it was stated that Abe had previously sent a message to a group event “in praise of the organization’s activities to promote peace”. It was also emphasized that Abe was not a member or advisor of the group. (UAV)
