Abe’s death raises security questions???

The assassination of Shinzo Abe, former prime minister of Japan, has shaken the country and many questions are being raised by this incident. The gun was made so randomly that it was attached to the tape. It appeared to be a propellant made of a pipe wrapped with tape, which was loaded with explosives.

According to the police, several more such guns were recovered during a search of the suspect's one-room house in Nara. Unlike conventional weapons, handmade guns are practically impossible to detect, making investigation difficult.

How do murders happen in Japan?

Such weapons are rarely used in Japan. Most of the attacks in the country have used methods like stabbing the victim or crushing with a vehicle or setting ablaze by sprinkling gasoline.

The attacker Tetsuya Yamagami probably chose a handmade weapon because of strict gun control laws. He is a former member of the Japanese Navy and is well versed in the art of making and using weapons.

Gun is being prepared through the 3-D printer

After the attack on Shinzo Abe, he was arrested at the scene. Crime experts say that guidelines for making guns are easily available on the Internet and guns can also be made using 3-D printers.

Some analysts have called the attack on Shinzo Abe 'lone-wolf terrorism'.
