Nine people are hurt after a driver deliberately rammed his vehicle into pedestrians in the Shibuya Ward in Tokyo on New Year’s Day in what the suspect told law enforcement was an act of terror, according to Japanese media.
21-year-old Kazuhiro Kusakabe was reportedly arrested in Tokyo on suspicion of attempted murder after plowing his rental car, fitted with an Osaka license plate, into people on the Takeshita Street in the city’s Harajuku district, which was closed to vehicles for the first day of the year.
One unnamed source revealed to Kyodo News that the suspect told police that he “raised a terror attack” in “retaliation for an execution” and vowed not to “make any excuse” for it.

“Kazuhiro Kusakabe”
They spelled Mohammed Sa’id wrong...
Not that! Hate crime for sure...
He didn’t yell “Allahu Akbar”, so they know immediately that it’s terrorism.
Kill people because execution is wrong.
We need better background checks for car rentals.
Not likely the ‘limbs. Probably the Aum Shinrikyo cult that did the sarin attack 20+ years ago.
They just got around to executing some of the attackers last year.
I don’t think Japan has many Muslim immigrants.
I don’t think the Japanese are very fond of any non Japanese.

I kinda like how they executed those pieces of crap. They didn’t tell them their execution date. It could be tomorrow, it could be next year.... It could be five minutes from now...
Harajuku Station is a popular promenade for young people to dress up and mingle. You see everything from cosplay to historical garb.
I understand the Japanese are real creepy with executions. They never tell the prisoner when or where. One day they just do a routine move of the prisoner, and at the last moment they open a door ... and there’s the noose.
Yeah, I believe they are a tad more picky than us.
