Japan's Abes assassination and its connections to the Unification Church. The Unification church, started in South Korea has a strong presence in Japan as well. Apparently, many Japanese politicians are linked to it, for financial reasons. Abe had recently spoken at a meeting not long before his assassination. It seems the assassin had originally planned on going after church leaders and went after Abe instead. One wonders why - not - the guy's mother had bankrupt the family giving all their money to the "church."
