[Ed] Aum Shinrikyo Cult Leader Executed

As I have stated previously, I am strictly against the death penalty, but I guess this provides an end to a very dark situation.

Japan executes sarin gas attack cult leader Shoko Asahara and six members

Quote:

The former leader of the doomsday cult that carried out a fatal gas attack on the Tokyo subway in March 1995 was executed on Friday . Shoko Asahara, who masterminded the attack in which 13 people died and more than 6,000 others fell ill, was hanged at a detention centre. Japan’s chief cabinet secretary, Yoshihide Suga, confirmed Asahara’s execution. The justice ministry later confirmed that six other senior cult members were executed on the same day.
