Blaming faulty “security measures” for the assassination of former leader Shinzo Abe, Japan's prime minister urged investigators to “fix what needs to be fixed.”
I think there were problems with the security measures," Kishida said, adding that officials at the National Public Safety Commission and National Police Agency are opening a probe into the assasination.
"I urge them to carry out a thorough inspection and fix what needs to be fixed, while also studying examples in other countries," Kishida said.Abe was shot while giving a campaign speech last week in the city of Nara in western Japan. He sustained two gunshot wounds and died shortly after being shot.. The former Japanese Navy member was reportedly discontent with Abe and wanted to kill him as a result.
"By holding a state funeral in memory of former Prime Minister Abe, Japan will show its determination not to cave in to violence and to firmly defend democracy," Kishida said. "Japan will also show to the world its determination to keep up its vigor and open a path toward the future."
