Japanese Man Denies Intent to Kill Ex-PM Kishida in Pipe Bomb Attack

TOKYO, Japan — A Japanese man accused of throwing a homemade pipe bomb at former Prime Minister Fumio Kishida during a campaign event in 2023 has denied attempting to kill the politician. Ryuji Kimura, 25, pleaded not guilty to attempted murder charges at his trial Tuesday at the Wakayama District Court.

Charges and Evidence

Kimura is facing five charges attempted murder, violation of laws controlling explosives, and three counts of violating laws regulating deadly weapons. The pipe bomb attack occurred on April 15, 2023, at a small fishing port in Wakayama, where Kishida was campaigning. Although the former prime minister escaped unharmed, two individuals sustained minor injuries. Kimura was arrested immediately after the incident.

Trial Proceedings

During Tuesday's trial, Kimura admitted to making the bombs and other charges but claimed he did not intend to kill Kishida, according to Japanese media outlets. The prosecution presented evidence, including parts of the pipe bomb found stuck in a container 60 meters away from the venue, which they say could have been lethal.

Significance

The trial is expected to conclude later this month. The attack on Kishida comes about a year after the assassination of former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe during a campaign speech in Nara, another city in western Japan. That incident shocked the nation and prompted increased security measures for dignitaries. The growing concern over homemade explosives and weapons has also been highlighted by authorities.

Social Media Posts

Social media postings later suggested Kimura had grievances about Japan's election system. As the trial unfolds, we will continue to monitor developments to gain insight into Kimura's motivations and intentions behind the attack.
