Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe defended his policy toward terrorism Sean Davis Steelers Jersey , as the flag at his official residence flew at half-staff Monday in a mark of mourning for two hostages killed by the Islamic State group.


During a long day of parliamentary debate, Abe parried numerous questions about his handling of the hostage crisis, which came to a grisly end with news early Sunday that journalist Kenji Goto had been beheaded by the extremists.


Abe said his announcement of $200 million in non-military aid for the fight against the Islamic State group, made during a visit to the Middle East just days before the militants demanded a $200 million ransom for the two hostages, was meant to convey Japan's strong commitment to battling terrorism and fostering peace and stability in the region.


Some have questioned that decision Artie Burns Steelers Jersey , saying Abe should have been more cautious and not mentioned the Islamic State group by name.


Responding to a question by an opposition lawmaker, Abe confirmed that he was aware of the hostage situation when he made the announcement.


Abe said he wished to publicize Japan's contribution to the fight against extremism, and rejected the idea of a more cautious approach.


"As international society seeks to restore peace and stability in the Middle East ... I thought it would be the most appropriate destination to visit, and that I should broadcast my message to the world from there," Abe said. "I thought announcing Japan's contribution to fulfill its responsibility would contribute to the international community's effort to fight against terrorism and prevent its expansion."


Abe said he did not see an increased terrorist risk following threats in a purported Islamic State group video that vowed to target Japanese and make the knife Goto's killer was wielding Japan's "nightmare."


"The terrorists are criminals Maurkice Pouncey Steelers Jersey ," Abe said. "We are determined to pursue them and hold them accountable."


Still, Japan has ordered heightened security precautions for airports and other public transport and at Japanese facilities overseas, such as embassies and schools.


The government also has called on journalists and others in areas near the conflict to withdraw, given the risk of further kidnappings and other threats.


The flag outside Abe's official residence was lowered to half-staff to mourn Goto and the other hostage, gun aficionado and adventurer Haruna Yukawa Cameron Heyward Steelers Jersey , who reportedly was killed earlier.


Goto's wife, Rinko Jogo, said in a statement released Monday that she was devastated but proud of her husband.


Jogo requested privacy for her family as they deal with their loss, and thanked those who had supported them.


"I remain extremely proud of my husband, who reported the plight of people in conflict areas like Iraq Ben Roethlisberger Steelers Jersey , Somalia and Syria," she said in the statement, issued through the British-based journalist group Rory Peck Trust.


"It was his passion to highlight the effects on ordinary people, especially through the eyes of children, and to inform the rest of us of the tragedies of war James Conner Steelers Jersey ," she said.


Goto left for Syria in late October, just a few weeks after the birth of the couple's youngest daughter, apparently hoping to rescue Yukawa, who had been seized by the militants last summer. Soon after, he was captured by the extremists.


At present JuJu Smith-Schuster Steelers Jersey , what is the level of constraint on intra-bank lending?


AZZAM: The impact of the international crisis on us is clearly going to be noticeable. We are all connected; what happens in Europe and the USA affects the Middle East and the rest of the world. Because of the inter-linkages and the connection between banks, if banks in the major European countries become risk averse, or tight on liquidity, they would not be able to place funds abroad, and would not have the appetite to finance existing maturing debt for countries in the region. So I would expect that countries that need to refinance would find it more difficult because of the international banks lack of willingness and ability to do so. There might be situation where intra-bank lines will be affected if banks in Europe are also experiencing tight liquidity conditions then the surplus funds they would normally deposit through the intra-bank market to other banks will be less. This is a global market T. J. Watt Steelers Jersey , but different counties and different banks will feel it differently. Those who depend more on retail deposits will feel it less. Those who are wholesale banks, whose major deposit base is the intra-bank market, they will feel the heat. For example, GIB and ABC in Bahrain, these are wholesale banks without retail branches in the region – they depend a lot on the intra-bank market and they will feel it more than a bank like NBAD or ADCB or National Bank of Kuwait or NCB Le'Veon Bell Steelers Jersey , those are banks that are dependent more on branches and retail deposits. So it varies from one bank to another and it varies by countries as well.


How will this region specifically be affected by the international crisis in comparison to the rest of the world?


AZZAM: We have a different set of problems in the region than the problems banks in Europe, the USA or the Far East are facing. In Europe, we are seeing huge exposure to markets in Southern Europe and Greece. There are non-performing loans for which they need to take provisions, they need to recapitalize, and there are problems with the Euro. We do not have these problems; we have minimal exposure to Greece and minimal exposure to Southern Europe. We are affected indirectly because the feeling of risk averseness has become wide spread. People are looking at what’s happening in Europe Antonio Brown Steelers Jersey , they see the contraction, they see the high risk there; they will be affected. I cannot think of many businesses that are expanding today or going to the bank to seek additional credit to expand because people are becoming more worried and more risk averse. People do not want to expand righ.
