Shoko Asahara, the cult leader who masterminded the Tokyo subway sarin attack in 1995, has been executed. Thirteen people were killed and thousands more injured when members of the Aum Shinrikyo cult dumped bags of sarin on packed rush hour trains, piercing the pouches with sharpened umbrella tips before fleeing. The nerve agent caused horrendous deaths and injuries, and prompted mass panic, turning Japan's busy capital city into something resembling a war zone. Born Chizuo Matsumoto, Asahara had been on death row for nearly 14 years, while as many as 12 of his followers are still awaiting execution.
