Strong radio emission of energetic electrons is observed in some solar flares. The origin of energetic electrons is, however, not fully known. In this letter we suggest that oblique shocks are created in reconnection jets in solar flares, and that energetic electrons are accelerated by shocks. We examine 2D MHD simulations of magnetic reconnection with high spacial resolution by assuming an anomal...
