Aum's Inoue Gets Life for Subway Sarin Attack
The Tokyo District Court on Tuesday sentenced Yoshihiro Inoue, former "intelligence minister" of the Aum Supreme Truth cult, to life imprisonment for his involvement in the sarin gas attack on the Tokyo subway system in March 1995, the kidnapping of a public notary and eight other crimes.
Prosecutors had sought the death penalty for Inoue, who was indicted in 10 cases, including the kidnapping and confinement of public notary Kiyoshi Kariya of Tokyo, who later died at an Aum facility in Kamikuishikimura in Yamanashi Prefecture.
