The assassination of longtime Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe is being described as the most tragic event in modern Japanese history.
Shinzo Abe was shot by a suspect in a small meeting in Nara, a small city located 300 kilometers from the capital Tokyo, at 11:30 am on July 8. He was taken to the hospital in critical condition. He could not die.
According to Japan's official broadcaster Nippon Hosu Kyokai (NHK), the police and security forces, showing their presence of mind, arrested the person who fired at Shinzo Abe at the scene of the incident.
The report stated that Shinzo Abe was shot by 41-year-old Yamagami Tetsuya, a resident of Nara city, who was arrested by the police on the spot.
According to the police and security forces, the accused hand-crafted a weapon at home to kill the former prime minister and was unhappy with Shinzo Abe's performance and initially openly admitted that he wanted to kill the former prime minister. were
Shinzo Abe was in Nara City to give a speech in support of a member of his party, as upper house elections were held there on July 10.
Not only the Japanese, but the world is shocked by the murder of Shinzo Abe, and most people are surprised that even in a country like Japan, there are assassination attacks on politicians.
Although many politicians have been attacked before Shinzo Abe and a few prominent politicians and government officials have been killed in assassination attacks, his assassination is being described as one of the most tragic events in modern history.
The last time before Shinzo Abe was 15 years ago in 2007, the mayor of Nagasaki was killed in an assassination attempt.
According to another report of 'NHA', in 2007, an operative of a criminal group shot and killed the mayor of Nagasaki.
Earlier in 1995, the commissioner of the National Police Agency in Tokyo was targeted in front of his residence, seriously injuring him.
Earlier in 1994, former Japanese Prime Minister Morihiro Hoshikara was attacked in Tokyo, seriously injured but managed to defeat death.
Similarly, in 1992, a senior leader of a political party was assassinated in Tokyo, in which he was seriously injured.
In 1990, the mayor of Nagasaki was assassinated, but he was spared.
By far the most high-profile assassination in Japan's history in the last four decades is that of Shinzo Abe, who was targeted at a rally on July 8.
Similarly, the incident of Shinzo Abe's assassination is being considered as the most tragic event in modern Japanese history, i.e. after 1950.
Before Shinzo Abe, Inejiro Asanuma, a popular politician of that time, was killed by a sword attack in Tokyo in 1960.
A country like Japan which is equipped with technology is considered as one of the countries free from terrorism and extremism, but in recent times there is an increase in the incidents of murder and violence.
According to the British Broadcasting Agency 'BBC', around a dozen deaths are reported annually across Japan by shootings, however, there has been an increase in violence in various forms in the past few years.
The latest incident of organized violence and terrorism in Japan occurred in 2019 when a man set fire to an animation studio, killing 36 people.
Similarly, in 2008, seven people were killed when a truck driver ran over people.
