YouTube Description

Aum Shinrikyo. A doomsday cult responsible for one of the deadliest attacks in Japanese history. This week on the Business of Crime, we explore how a domestic terrorist group managed to obtain chemical weapons; how they used their religious status to avoid criticism; and how a far-reaching network of business interests allowed them to cast a lasting shadow over modern-day Japan.
