- Victims say 2,500 still suffer from sarin aftereffects on 4th anniversary, Saturday, March 20, 1999
 TOKYO, March 20 (Kyodo) -- Survivors and
families of those killed in the 1995 sarin nerve
gas attack on the Tokyo subway system by the AUM
Shinrikyo cult said Saturday some 2,500 people
still suffer from aftereffects of the gassing.
Shizue Takahashi, 52, leader of a victims' group
who lost her husband Kazumasa in the deadly
gassing, cited the findings of a survey conducted
by the group and the National Police Agency,
pointing to the lasting psychological scars the
attack left on its victims. At 8 a.m. -- the time
the lethal gas was released -- subway workers and
representatives of the victims offered a 30-second
silent prayer for the souls of the victims and
laid flowers in their memory in a ceremony held at
Kasumigaseki Station. The sarin attack killed 12
people and injured more than 5,300 others. AUM
leader Shoko Asahara and other former senior
members of the religious cult have been arrested
and are on trial for alleged involvement in the
release of the nerve gas in trains on five subway
lines.
