TOKYO — A 42-year-old man suffered stab wounds to his back after being attacked by a man wearing a Spider-Man mask outside a church in Itabashi Ward….more...
Also a famous news commentator here in Japan, Peter Barakan was attacked at church with mace this weekend in Tokyo. Being that Christians only account for 1% of the Japanese population, the statistical likelihood of have two attacks in Christian churches over two day here in low crime rate Japan is rare. These attacks are darn-right mysterious since the Japanese are the most disinterested in religion of any people on the planet and never have the concerns/motivations that mostly likely drove the four killing in two separate church attacks in Colorado in the USA in the past 24 hours.

On December 8, 2007, at about 1:15PM, British TV Caster Peter Barakan (56) and four other men and women were sprayed with a substance similar to tear gas by an unknown male. The assailant escaped in a car. They were attending a monthly Christian church meeting in Tokyo Minato-ku Mita, and suffered pain to the eyes, but were said to have recovered. The Mita Police are currently searching for the male as a case of assault with intent to inflict bodily injury.
According to sources, the assailant had hidden his face with a black cap. The five had assembled for a speech to be given by Barakan starting at 2PM.
