Police says AUM carried out unsolved 1995 police chief shooting

TOKYO, Japan - Goro Aoki, head of the public security department of Tokyo's Metropolitan Police Department, speaks at a news conference in Tokyo on May 30, 2010, after the 15-year statute of limitations for prosecutions in the 1995 shooting of the then National Police Agency chief Takaji Kunimatsu ran out at midnight on March 29. Aoki said police were unable to build a criminal case on the shooting as they did not obtain sufficient evidence to identify culprits, but added that only AUM Shinrikyo could be considered responsible.
