Tokyo 20 March 1995 is the type investigation in which arrests, chemistry identifications and a decade of trials left almost no mystery — and still remade how Japan watches religious corporations. What the public record says happened Five coordinated releases occurred on Teito Rapid Transit Authority (now Tokyo Metro) lines during the Monday rush, aimed at trains passing Kasumigaseki, the ministry quarter.
