Japan’s Shintaro Ishihara claims CIA plot to kill him in traffic accident and make it look like Chinese did it
Ishihara made the claim in an interview with the Shukan Post tabloid news magazine during a discussion about how best to deal with Kim Jong-un, the North Korean dictator
Claims by erstwhile Tokyo Governor Shintaro Ishihara that former US President Barack Obama ordered his assassination have been described as the “rantings of a doddery old reactionary” and an effort to divert attention away a growing scandal revolving around the relocation of Tokyo’s Tsukiji fish market.
Ishihara made the claim in an interview with the Shukan Post tabloid news magazine during a discussion about how best to deal with Kim Jong-un, the North Korean dictator.
“Why doesn’t America just assassinate Kim Jong-un already?” Ishihara said, according to a translation provided by the Tokyo Reporter web site.
“I mean, they killed Gaddafi and Bin Laden after careful planning, didn’t they?” he added. “Assassinations are their speciality.
“When Tokyo was trying to purchase the Senkaku Islands, Obama told the CIA: ‘Use Chinese people in Japan and kill Ishihara by making it look like a traffic accident.’”
