THE ASSASSINATION OF INEJIRO ASANUMA

This video shows the assassination of Japanese socialist leader Inejiro Asanuma. His sword-wielding killer was 17-year-old Otoya Yamaguchi (attacks at about the 1.15 mark) who was upset with Asanuma's pro-US defence policy.


Japanese photographer Yasushi Nagao won the 1960 Pulitzer Prize for this photo.
