On March 20, 1995, Japan's subway system was attacked by a cult using Serin gas to poison the passengers. The goal was to cause so much panic and damage and then blame the attack on the United States--in the hope the Japanese government would start a war. The cult's leader, Shoko Asahara preached to his followers that the end times were near, and if a war was started, his prophecies would come true. Listen to this week's episode to hear more about the Aum Shinrikyo cult, and the damage it caused to the people of Japan.
