White-garment cult on move again in Gifu

GIFU, Japan - A caravan of white-donned wagon cars carrying about 50 members of a white-garment cult that believes ''doomsday'' is imminent is seen parked on a narrow road designated by police authorities in the village of Kiyomi in Gifu Prefecture on May 3. Members of the group, which calls itself Pana Wave Laboratory, took down the roadside tents they erected on National Route 257 in the village, leaving the site earlier in the day after staking out there for 23 hours.
