This article is within the more general context, but we have the words of the assassin, discussion by the police of not wanting to discuss the church specifically for the “obvious” reasons, the mother of the assassin being identified by the church as being a member… “it happened because of X” is maybe very strong but lots of the story does align and is being corroborated.
- kragen 4y agoWhat were the words of the assassin?
- atwood22 4y ago> “My family joined that religion and our life became harder after donating money to the organization,” Tetsuya Yamagami, who is unemployed, was quoted by the sources as telling police. “I had wanted to target the top official of the organization, but it was difficult. So, I took aim at Abe since I believed that he was tied (to the organization). I wanted to kill him.” https://www.asahi.com/ajw/articles/14665352 https://www.asahi.com/ajw/articles/14665352
- kragen 4y agoThank you! But, that seems to not say which religion it is?
