1932 assassination plot in Japan
League of Blood Incident
The League of Blood Incident (血盟団事件, Ketsumeidan Jiken; also translated as Blood-Pledge Corps Incident) was a 1932 assassination plot in Japan in which extremists targeted wealthy businessmen and liberal politicians. The group chose twenty victims but succeeded in killing only two: former Finance Minister and head of the Rikken Minseitō political party, Junnosuke Inoue, and the Director-General of Mitsui Holding Company, Dan Takuma. The arrest of the assassins led to the discovery of the existence of a civilian ultranationalist, fascist group led by self-styled Buddhist preacher, Nisshō Inoue.
