Japanese Man Denies Intent to Kill Ex-PM Kishida in Court
The trial of Ryuji Kimura, a 25-year-old man who threw a homemade pipe bomb at former Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida during a campaign event in April 2023, began on Tuesday. Kimura pleaded not guilty to attempted murder and admitted to making the bombs, as well as other charges, but denied intending to cause harm.
The attack occurred at a small fishing port in Wakayama City, where Kishida was campaigning for re-election. Although Kishida escaped unharmed, two others sustained minor injuries. Kimura was arrested on the spot and is now facing five charges, including attempted murder, violations of laws controlling explosives and deadly weapons.
The prosecution argues that the pipe bomb thrown by Kimura was one of two he brought to the campaign event and could have caused lethal harm if it had not been defused in time. Authorities found parts of the bomb stuck in a container 60 meters away from the venue, highlighting the potential severity of the situation.
Kimura's motive for the attack remains unclear, although social media postings later suggested that he had grievances about Japan's election system. The incident has raised concerns about homemade weapons and explosives, as well as the need for greater protection for dignitaries following the assassination of former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe in July 2022.
The trial is expected to conclude later this month with a ruling, which will provide closure for all parties involved.
