Aum Shin Rikyo attempted mass murders numerous times

[June, 1998]

Testimonies and confessions from recent trials of Aum Shin Rikyo members reveal that the group released lethal biologiocal weapons from rooftops and trucks in Japan for years in an effort to kill millions. Germ warfare was targeted on the Japanese Legislature, the Imperial Palace, the area around Tokyo, and even the US military base at Yokosuka. The poisons were not detected at the times of their releases, and apparently caused no deaths. Aum Shin Rikyo is the cult responsible for the deadly 1995 Tokyo subway gas attack. The subway attack - along with the earlier germ warfare releases - was intended to spark the apocalypse Aum Shin Rikyo postulates is coming. Meanwhile, about 200 current members met for a fundraising conference in late April, paying up to $1,500 each to attend.
