Mr. Shinzo Abe was a true friend of India and a very tall leader by any standard. He stood by India through thick and thin. May God give Mr. Abe the strength to overcome this challenge at this gravest hour of distress. We all Indians hope and pray for his life.

Former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, an ultra-nationalist who served in the post longer than anyone else before stepping down in 2020, was shot and killed on Friday at a campaign rally.
Abe was giving a campaign speech in the city of Nara when he was gunned down around 11.30am
Tetsuya Yamagami, 41, a navy veteran who used a home-made shotgun in the killing, was arrested at the scene and police say he has since confessed to the shooting
"[Shinzo Abe] hatte auch ehrgeizige Kurswechsel in der Außenpolitik versucht, beispielsweise, indem er Wladimir Putin die Hand reichte, ohne Erfolg," schreibt Régis Arnaud, im Figaro, vom 8. Juli 2022.
Alles klar? Fumio Kishida - aus Hiroshima - hat die Zeichen der Zeit erkannt.

Und schon geht's los mit der Verschleierung. Reuters ergänzt und aktualisiert:
The suspect said he bore a grudge against a "specific organisation" and believed Abe was part of it, and that his grudge was not about politics, the police said, adding it was not clear if the unnamed organisation actually existed.
Der Täter erklärt, er hätte Shinzo Abe verwechselt [!] mit einem Sektenführer, den er umbringen wollte, schreibt Pravda.ru, am 8. Juli 2022, 17 Uhr: Shinzo Abe's killer says he wanted to kill someone else. Tetsuya Yamagami steht aber, wie man auf Videos sehen kann, direkt hinter dem redenden Wahlkämpfer Shinzo Abe. Ihn zu verwechseln, ist ausgeschlossen. Der erste Schuß trifft ihn nicht, er redet weiter. Im nächsten Satz schreibt Pravda.ru, der Täter hätte ausgesagt, ursprünglich [!] geplant zu haben, einen anderen zu erschießen. Es ist ja ganz gleich, wen wir hassen?

Tetsuya Yamagami reportedly told the police he was dissatisfied with Shinzo Abe and wanted to kill him. A witness to the attack claimed he did not attempt to escape after the shooting.
Sébastien Falletti, Figaro-Korrepondent, irgendwo in Fernost, nutzt die Vorlage zu Propagandazwecken gegen China. Er hat doch tatsächlich einige chinesische Blogger aufgetan, die sich vor Freude über den Mord an dem "Falken" Shinzo Abe kaum lassen können. Kommentatoren versuchen, den Blödsinn zurechtzurücken durch Informationen.
