| [WashingtonTimes] The police chief of the prefecture where former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe was assassinated this week said he bears responsibility for his death. Nara Prefectural police Chief Tomoaki Onizuka said Mr. Abe’s security personnel followed the lead of the plan he put forward, and he "takes responsibility" for his killing. "I feel the weight of my responsibility," Mr. Onizuka said at the Saturday presser. He added: "After the first report of the incident came at 11:30 a.m., and the situation was revealed, it was the height of the guilt and regret I’ve felt in my 27 years in law enforcement." Mr. Abe, 67, died after being shot by a gunman who opened fire on him while he was making a speech in broad daylight.
