Fresh police raid on Japan's Aum cult

AGENCE FRANCE PRESSE  
TOKYO, OCT 3: Police raided facilities of Japan's Aum Supreme Truth cult in central Japan on Sunday, in the latest move to clamp down on the doomsday sect.

Some 80 investigators seized personal computers and diskettes from two Aum facilities in Fujioka, where some 120 believers live together, police said.

The raid is part of investigations following Wednesday's arrest of Masahiro Guntani, 30, an Aum member, who allegedly imprisoned a 29-year-old woman member at the facility last year. Last week, some 200 police raided another building of the doomsday cult near the winter resort city of Nagano.Aum Supreme Truth cult members shocked the world when they spread the Nazi-invented Sarin gas in Tokyo's busiest subway in March 1995, killing 12 people and injuring thousands.
