Japan hangs 6 remaining Aum cult members - UPI.com
UPI reports: "The six remaining Aum Shinrikyo cult members on death row were executed
Thursday, the last of the 13 Japanese cult members to be hanged in the
past three weeks.
The six were convicted in a 1995 sarin nerve gas attack on the Tokyo
subway system that killed 12 people and injured hundreds. They were also
convicted of committing a sarin attack in Matsumoto, Nagano Prefecture,
in 1994, and for killing a lawyer, his wife and their baby son in 1989.
[...] Chizuo Matsumoto, the mastermind of the attack on Tokyo's subway
system, was hung earlier this month along with six former senior members
of the cult.
Matsumoto, known as Shoko Asahara, was the founder of the Aum Shinrikyo
cult."
Comment: That was one dangerous cult, glad they faced justice for their crimes.
