At around 11:30 am local time on July 8, former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe , who was giving a speech at Nara Prefecture, was shot and died after failed rescue. It is reported that shortly before the announcement of the death of Abe , his wife had just arrived at the Affiliated Hospital of Nara Prefectural Medical College from Tokyo.
On the 8th local time, the treatment hospital said that due to his serious injury, Shinzo Abe was confirmed to die at 17:03 local time. According to reports, Abe's annual security cost alone exceeds 200 million yen (about 11.2 million yuan). He has always been with him a female bodyguard who claimed to have defeated 10 strong men with bare hands and killed the enemy in just 0.2 seconds.
According to the Japan Broadcasting Association (NHK), on the morning of the 8th, a 41-year-old man shot twice in a row from three meters behind Abe, hitting the chest. Abe lost consciousness after being attacked and fell into a state of "cardiopulmonary function stopping". After the incident, the murderer was immediately arrested by the government security police responsible for protecting the safety of senior politicians and officials, but the outside world's suspicion of Abe's security capabilities still exists.
It is reported that the Japanese Prime Minister is no different from an ordinary person after retirement and no longer enjoys the privileges of secretary, guard, driver and private cars. But Abe received different treatment.
On-site security comes from Police Department Police Protection Class
After Abe was assassinated, the Japanese Police Department held a press conference to inform on the security situation at the time of the incident. The Japanese Police Department said that due to the impact of this incident, the Police Department has established a countermeasure room led by the Chief of Security and has continuously collected various intelligence.
It is revealed that the Japanese Police Protection Department sent security personnel to follow Abe to visit Nara Prefecture. At the speech, the Nara Prefecture police also sent security personnel to be responsible for Abe's security protection. One of the main responsibilities is to alert suspicious people at the speech scene.
The suspect was arrested at the scene
According to reports, the current Prime Minister of Japan has several professional security personnel to protect him in person. A politician like Abe who has served as prime minister can enjoy the protection of professional security personnel provided by the government after resigning. Influential politicians like this who go to the local government to give speeches, usually provide security protection by police agencies at the prefecture-level level, local political parties and local leaders. Now, the Japanese Police Department is investigating the security situation at the speech site at that time.
According to Japanese media reports, at the press conference, many reporters asked the Japanese police to give more detailed explanations on the situation at that time and whether there were any problems with the security forces. In response, Japanese police said that further confirmation is now being carried out.
The suspect holding a homemade gun
It is also reported that the suspect who attacked Abe, Yamakami, also served as a low-level maritime self-defense officer for three years in Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force from 2002 to 2005. The pistol he used to commit the crime was made by himself. The police are investigating how he obtained the equipment for making the gun and are also investigating his method of making the gun. Japanese police said that judging from the current situation, Yamakami also has no special ideological background and will focus on investigating his motivation for assassination in the future.
"Mobilizes the Mobilization" private home security
According to previous media reports, two months after Abe stepped down (November 2020), a source revealed that 30 guards currently have shifts of 24 hours to protect Abe's safety. The average annual income of the police is about 7 million yen. Therefore, it can be estimated that Abe's annual security cost alone exceeds 200 million yen.
According to Japanese media reports in 2021, after Kishida Fumio became the Prime Minister of Japan, "former Prime Minister" Abe still used public funds to maintain the security system of his private home. On a section near Abe's private home, a van and other vehicles in the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department standby 24 hours a day. There are roadblocks at the intersection where they go to their private homes, and police continue to stand guard from morning to night. There is only one policeman on duty in front of the private house of Taro Aso, which is located hundreds of meters away from Abe's private house.
The road leading to Abe's private home was set up by the police
A man living near Abe's private home for many years said, "I have always cared about the strict guards, but now I am used to the existence of these warning vehicles. However, when will this situation last?"
has an opinion that the reason why Abe's private home guard ability can continue to this day is because his influence in Japanese politics cannot be underestimated. However, many Japanese still "hold grudges" towards him. When questioned today, the suspect who assassinated him in Nara said that he "just wanted to kill him."
"Japan's No. 1 Female Bodyguard" Where is
In the video at the shooting scene, people found a woman checking her injuries for Abe. People can't help but think of the Ishida Moemi , which was previously known as the "No. 1 female bodyguard in Japan".
After Abe was shot, Moemi Ishida checked her injuries
According to reports, Moemi Ishida was born in a Japanese bodyguard family in 1988, and her father had served as a task to protect many Japanese politicians. Influenced by his father, Ishida inherited his father's mantle. At the age of 18, Moemi Ishida got the third rank of , Kendo . In October 2011, Ishida, who was only 23 years old, was recruited into the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department Guard Section and worked as a bodyguard for former Prime Minister Hiroshi Noda. After Noda stepped down, he became Abe's bodyguard.
Ishida Moemi who practices ninjutsu
Because she looks very similar to the heroine Yoko Maki in the Japanese TV series "Body Guard", Ishida Moemi immediately became popular on the Internet as soon as it was exposed, hitting the hearts of countless Japanese otakus. However, few media interviewed this female bodyguard. The police department’s reply was: “The unexpected popularity has troubled Ishida himself, and it is difficult for us to arrange further interviews.” Of course, as a police officer engaged in security work, becoming popular does not mean that he can do his job well.
Japanese bodyguards have an assessment, requiring bodyguards to quickly dig out their guns to protect the target during the mission and be able to hit the suspect. It is reported that this assessment requires that the time from gun pulling to shooting cannot exceed 0.5 seconds. Moemi Ishida only takes 0.2 seconds to pull out her gun and shoot, and her shooting accuracy is above 98%.
Moemi Ishida proved to everyone that her abilities are not inferior to those of men. Therefore, labels such as "killing the enemy in 0.2 seconds", "defeating 10 strong men with bare hands", and "protecting the two prime ministers for peace and integrity" have made her firmly ranked as "the number one female bodyguard in Japan".
Ishida Moemi at work
In this shooting, Abe's security personnel not only did not find the suspect approaching, but also gave him the opportunity to shoot Abe with a gun, and even did not allow Abe to wear bulletproof vest . Perhaps Abe trusted his security personnel too much, but in the face of emergencies, the bodyguards could not guarantee that they would be foolproof. Where is the omission in the hundreds of secrets? It still needs to be investigated by the Japanese authorities.
