Japan: Police Arrest Aum Shinrikyo Fugitive Katsuya Takahashi

Tokyo police arrested the the last fugitive from the Aum Shinrikyo cult on Friday. After 17 years on the run, Katsuya Takahashi was apprehended in a comic book cafe in the Japanese capital.

Takahashi was the bodyguard for the Aum Shinrikyo doomsday cult and was wanted for his connection to the 1995 sarin gas attack on the Tokyo subway, which killed 13 people. Nearly 200 cult members have been arrested since the attack -- the most recent, Naoko Kikuchi, who was captured last week.

I did it under the instructions of high-ranking cult members, Takahashi told police of his role in the attack, which involved driving a fellow member to the train station.
