ASAHARA TO COPS WHADDO I KNOW?

Aum Shinrikyo cult leader Shoko Asaharastrained credibility today when he told a Japanese court that he was unaware of any cult member's involvement in thedeadly poisoning on Tokyo's subway. After all, he said: "I have so many followers, it's impossible for me to know what everybody's doing." Yet even as the cult leader maintained his innocence, police discovered another huge storehouse of nerve gas ingredients in the sect's Mt. Fuji compound. Asahara is getting no help from his followers. Under questioning, theguru's top lieutenants have said that Asahara masterminded the attack, having laid plans two years ago for the cult to start manufacturing chemical weapons. Officials have now arrested all but seven of the 41 cult members sought in arrest warrants.
