JAPAN: TOKYO: RELIGIOUS CULT LEADERS PROPHECY

(15 Apr 1995) Jap/Eng/Nat Tokyo was on full alert Saturday in response to a prophecy by the leader of the Aum Shinrikyo cult, which is suspected of carrying out last month's nerve gas attack. Shoko Asahara had predicted that something \"terrible\" would happen on April 15th in Japan's capital. Although the streets were quiet for a Saturday those out ignored the prophecy. Japan's notorious cult leader, Shoko Asahara, prophesied a natural disaster for Tokyo today (Saturday) and authorities were taking no chances. Extra police were on alert throughout the capital, especially in the subway and at major intersections. Some shops were closed, many had extra staff on duty. Even so they down-played the likelihood of any kind of attack. Subway stations closed certain vending machines, to avoid suspicious packages being hidden. Even the American Embassy put out an alert to its employees. The embassy recommended the employees exercise common sense and prudent security precautions while walking or travelling around town. SOUNDBITE: (English) I did buy extra bottled water for my apartment in case something happened. SUPER CAPTION: American man But most Tokyo residents ignored the threat. SOUNDBITE: I woke up and heard it on the news, but I'm just going about my normal business So far, Asahara's prophecy has not come true. But with a strong suspicion of his cult's involvement in the gas attack on the Tokyo subway last month, security forces remain on high alert in case Asahara's followers decide to try to make his forecast real.
