Chemical fumes engulf Japan
subway system, breed concern
□ Nerve gas planted
on a Tokyo subway kills
eight and sickens more
than 3,200 citizens.
The attack draws atten
tion to what was once
considered one of the
world's safer countries.
TOKYO (AP) — Police in pro
tective gear seized five packages
of nerve gas that spread death
Monday through Tokyo’s crowd
ed subway system, hunting for
clues in a chilling new chapter
in urban terrorism: the use of
chemical weapons.
No one claimed responsibili
ty for the chilling attack, which
killed eight people, sickened
more than 3,200 others and
paralyzed one of the world’s
busiest subway systems.
It stunned the Japanese, who
consider their country among the
world’s safest.
The attack drew new atten
tion to earlier, unsolved cases of
chemical poisoning, including
the deaths of seven people in the
central Japanese city of Mat-
sumoto in June.
As in the subway attack, au
thorities blamed sarin, a nerve
gas developed by the Nazis in
World War II.
The threat of chemical or bio
logical terrorism has worried
governments increasingly in re
cent years, as the technology be
came more widespread and easy
to obtain.
“Terrorists have taken that
step across the threshold into
the use of weapons of mass de
struction,” said Kyle Olson of
the Chemical and Biological
Arms Control Institute in
Alexandria, Va.
Olson studied the Matsumoto
poisoning and warned in Febru
ary that it could happen again.
“I began to reach the conclu
sion that this was a dress re
hearsal of some type, that
someone was trying to get the
hang of using a new weapon,”
he told Associated Press Televi
sion on Monday.
Police refused to discuss sus
pects Monday and the motive for
the attack was unclear.
The Aum Shinri Kyo religious
cult, previously accused of mak
ing sarin, denied any involvement
and threatened to sue anyone
who suggested there was a link.
The planners likely had ad
vanced knowledge of chemistry.
While it is fairly easy to obtain
the ingredients to produce sarin,
the chemical process is difficult
to perform.
A little as a drop of sarin —
inhaled or on the skin — can kill
a person almost instantly.
The gas attacks a key enzyme
m mm mmammmmmm
needed by the nervous system,
causing difficulty in breathing, a
fall in blood pressure and con
traction of the pupils in the eye.
The gas was used by Iraq in
its war with Iran in the 1980s.
About 10,000 police were as
signed to the subway investiga
tion. Police patrolled subway
platforms looking for clues and
making sure there were no oth
er packages.
All day Monday, police and
military chemical warfare ex
perts in gas masks and protec
tive clothing examined the five
trains where sarin seeped from
containers and packages
wrapped in newspaper to look
like lunch boxes.
After Monday morning’s rush-
hour attack, passengers on
crowded trains and platforms all
over central Tokyo fainted, vom
ited or went into convulsions as
the fumes spread. Six people
died and more than 3,200 re
ceived medical treatment.
Akio Masahata, 21, said he
was on his way to work when
his train stopped, and an an
nouncement said there had
been an explosion.
“Then I started to smell it,” he
said, sitting on a gurney at St.
Luke’s International Hospital. “It
hurt to breathe. I could feel it in
my nostrils. When I realized it
must be gas, people were starting
to collapse around me.”
Police removed packages
leaking sarin from four subway
stations — the Kasumigaseki
station which serves the govern
ment hub of Tokyo, Tsukiji sta
tion near Tokyo’s largest fish
market, the Hongo-
sanchome station
and Nakano-sakaue.
But passengers
straggled or were
carried from stations
at stops throughout a
wide section of cen
tral Tokyo.
The poisoned
trains ran on lines
that travelled near
the Ginza shopping
district and the Hiroo and Rop-
pongi districts where many for
eigners live.
Japan is no stranger to ur
ban violence. But in the past,
there have always been
specific targets.
Right-wing radicals have at
tacked newspapers that criticized
the imperial family or politicians
who offered apologies for Japan’s
wartime actions.
The attack Monday was a new
blow to the self-confidence of a
nation that is only now emerging
from severe recession.
“I can’t imagine how anyone
could do something like this,"
said Masahisa Machida, a 37-
year-old office worker who rides
the subway regularly. “This is a
civilized country — we have no
room for terrorism.”
"I can't imagine how anyone
could do something like this.
This is a civilized country-we
have no room for terrorism."
— Masahisa Machida,
subway passenger
