House panel OK's bills to curb AUM activities

TOKYO, Japan - Members of a House of Representatives committee stand up Nov. 17 in support of two bills aimed to restrict the activities of the AUM Shinrikyo cult. While the proposed legislation does not refer to the cult by name, one of the bills allows the monitoring of activities of any organization that has committed ''indiscriminate mass-murder'' in the past 10 years.
