Tokyo
- On March 20, 1995, sarin gas attacked on subway trains passing
through Kasumigaseki and Nagatacho, home to the Japanese
government.
This act of the terrorism was performed by members of Aum Shinrikyo, a religious cult. Their attempt was to bring down the government and install the group’s founder - Shoko Asahara, who was respected as a god by his followers - as the emperor of Japan.
They brought sarin packets produced in their laboratory, releasing them on the crowded train cars.
This chemical killer gas killed thirteen people and injured nearly one thousand people at the peak of the morning rush hour. It is one of the most serious attacks occurred in Japan.

Margaret,
Thank you for your article - well done! There are a few corrections to be made:
- Your title suggests that Japan is remembering this attack, but you don't mention the remembrance in your article... Why is Japan remembering this attack now, 9 years later?
- I have highlighted words or phrases that are vague or awkward.
- I have underlined words that are redundant.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Kate
my condolences brothers japanese! :(
