File photo of Japanese police squad heading for a complex of the secretive religious cult Aum Shinri Kyo in Kamikuishi. Japanese police squad heads for a complex of the secretive religious cult Aum Shinri Kyo in raids in the small village of Kamikuishi at the foot of Mt. Fuji in this March 26, 1995 file photo. On March 20, 2005, subway workers and victims' relatives observed a moment of silence at 8 a.m. - about the time of the attacks by members of a doomsday cult. The incident shattered Japan's sense of public safety as investigators discovered that Aum Shinri Kyo (Supreme Truth Sect) cult members had released deadly sarin by puncturing gas-filled plastic bags with sharpened umbrella tips. Thousands were subjected to a sarin nerve gas attack that killed 12 people on jam-packed subways on March 20, 1995, and left more than 5,000 sick.
