Aum embarked on an extraordinary, six-year crime spree. The cult's law breaking knew no bounds: massive consumer fraud, land fraud, medical malpractice, extortion, drug dealing, firearms and explosives violations, manufacture of biological and chemical weapons, kidnapping, murder, and mass murder. Year after year this went on, nearly all of it within seventy miles of Tokyo. The response of Japanese law enforcement is a virtual case study on what not to do in fighting terrorism and organized crime. Leads were missed or
never followed up, witnesses and evidence ignored, and agencies refused to cooperate with each other. No action was taken, until one day Tokyo cops awoke
to find the world's busiest subway attacked with nerve gas at the height of
rush hour.
Thanks to a combination of high quality, availability, and minimal legal encumbrances, American firearms are sought and acquired by the Japanese. The distributors, and in this case the customers, of the product are primarily the yakuza. Americans have competition from various foreign producers, but they are by far the yakuza's largest single source of weaponry - providing one-third of all handguns seized between 1994 and 1998. This is twice the amount provided by the nearest rival source, China.
