Yoshihiro Inoue, the "intelligence chief" of Japan’s Aum Shinri Kyo cult, testified yesterday that former Russian Security Council secretary Oleg Lobov had provided blue prints for a nerve gas plant used by the cult to produce deadly sarin gas. The gas was released in a 1995 attack on Tokyo’s subway that left 12 dead and thousands injured. Inoue claimed that Lobov was paid approximately $79,000 for the information. (Kyodo, AP, April 23)
