\n

The person believed to be responsible for an attempted assassination of Prime Minister Fumio Kishida in Japan<\/a> earlier this year was indicted on attempted murder Wednesday, according to a report.<\/p>\n

Prosecutors indicted Ryuji Kimura, 24, on attempted murder<\/a> and other charges after he allegedly threw a pipe bomb at the country\u2019s leader in April, as he was campaigning in the fishing port of Saikazaki, in the western Japanese city of Wakayama, Japanese media reported.<\/p>\n

The incident injured two people, although Kishida was unhurt, officials said. Kimura was wrestled to the ground and subsequently arrested at the scene.<\/p>\n

The explosive attack came about a year after former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe was assassinated while campaigning for elections on July 8, 2022. Both attacks were isolated incidents, carried out by a lone attacker using a homemade weapon.<\/p>\n

The indictment comes after Kimura underwent a three-month psychiatric evaluation and prosecutors ultimately determined that he is mentally fit for trial, Japan’s Kyodo news agency reported.<\/p>\n

Authorities also analyzed the explosive used in the attack \u2014 a homemade pipe bomb \u2014 and determined it was lethal.<\/p>\n

According to Kyodo, court records show Kimura may have launched the attack as he wanted to be a politician but believed that he was unfairly blocked from running for Japan’s parliament in 2022 elections by an age requirement.<\/p>\n

A candidate must be aged 30 years or older and present a $22,260 deposit to run for the Upper House, the less powerful of Japan\u2019s two-chamber parliament. He was 23 at the time.<\/p>\n

Kimura, who police said is unemployed, filed a lawsuit in June 2022 with the Kobe District Court claiming that he should have been allowed to register for the July 2022 Upper House election, according to Kyodo News.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Court records show Kimura argued that the election system<\/a> that blocked his candidacy was unconstitutional, the reports said.<\/p>\n

Japanese media including NHK public television reported Kimura demanded the government pay $740 in compensation for his psychological anguish.<\/p>\n

His social media posts also express animus towards Japan\u2019s political climate, per the report.<\/p>\n

The attacks on Abe and Kishida had reverberations around Japan, where gun and bomb violence<\/a> is exceedingly rare.\u00a0<\/p>\n
