TOKYO, May 28, 2019 (BSS/AFP) – Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe voiced “strong anger” over what he described as a “harrowing” attack, after a knifeman on Tuesday stabbed two people to death, including a 12-year-old.
“It is a very harrowing case. I feel strong anger. I offer my heartfelt condolences to the victims and hope the injured recover quickly,” Abe said in a televised reaction, his first since the attack.
