Japan's wartime kamikaze resent comparison with modern suicide bombers because of difference in mission.

"I feel insulted to hear our missions described as the same as Islam's suicide bombings," said the 83-year-old veteran.

"We did this in wartime battle, samurai against samurai, and what they are doing are indiscriminate attacks aimed at killing innocent people," he said, referring to the code-bound samurai knights of medieval Japan.

"For those who carried out the attacks in London or Iraq, there must be their own reasons such as reacting to contempt, an offense or pressure," said Hamazono, a former navy pilot of the Kamikaze Special Attack Force.

"But no one has a right to kill innocent people, especially children," said the 81-year-old veteran, whose lethal mission ended incomplete after his Zero fighter was damaged in a dog-fight just before the end of World War II.

"Terrorist attacks will never bring any happiness to terrorist groups in the end," Hamazono warned in low voice.
