Japan is not afraid of the terrorists and their attempts to force the authorities to change their tactics in relation to global terrorism will remain fruitless.
This statement was made by Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, commenting on the death of Japanese hostage Kenji Goto, beheaded by militants of Islamic State. "The terrorists were counting on the fact that their actions will cause panic and change the position of our country," Abe said.
However, Tokyo "will not give in to terrorism," the Prime Minister said. "We will cooperate with the international community to make them atone for their crimes. I will take thorough measures to ensure the safety of Japanese citizens inside and outside Japan," TASS cited him.
