Tetsuya Yamagami, 41, also admitted that he intended to kill Abe, believing he had promoted the group in Japan, the sources said, without naming the group. The suspect had repeatedly visited locations where Abe had delivered campaign speeches ahead of Sunday's House of Councillors election.
Yamagami has denied he committed the crime because he was opposed to Abe's political beliefs, according to the police.
The police searched his home Friday, finding items that are believed to be explosives and homemade guns, they said.
