Episode 7. Japan's Deadliest Cult: Aum Shinrikyo

Japan hasn’t had a lot of terrorist attacks, but one changed history. Aum Shinrikyo, labeled Japanese deadliest cult, is responsible for a lot of crimes. Their most famous crime being the Tokyo sarin gas attack in March of 1995 where over 5000 people were injured. Under the leadership of Asahara Shoko, the notorious cult managed to gather a lot of followers. His followers were very devoted to Asahara, effectively committing murders for Asahara’s sake. This turned out longer than I intended and I wasn't able to include all information. I'm still considering whether I should do part 2 or not.  Thank you for listening :) instagram: @introvertjapanpod
