Abe's grandfather Nobusuke Kishi, who served as Prime Minister from 1957 to 1960, was targeted for assassination in the final year of his premiership, though he survived after being stabbed six times.
"I thought that former Prime Minister Nobusuke Kishi contributed to the expansion of (the religious group), and I thought about killing his grandson, former Prime Minister Abe," the suspect, 41-year-old Tetsuya Yamagami, told investigators, NHK reported.
"I had a grudge against a particular religious group, and I thought that former Prime Minister Abe had a close relationship with this group," Yamagami reportedly said. "My mother got into a group and made a large donation and my family life was messed up."
