Just wanted to hear what you guys thought about his cult, him, the attack, or his trial. I think its amazing a group can set off a nerve gas attack, even if it is thousands of miles away and yet receive little publicity. It sure has taken a long time for Mr. Asahura to receive justice.

well, at the time, the nerve gas attack was big news. I guess 10 years ago is too long ago for people to care or something. although I wonder why it took Japan so long to take this guy to trial?

yeah I was gonna ask the same thing.

it was definitely a big deal in 1994, I remember it.. but time does dull the memory and the interest.
