1995 Tokyo Subway Attack Suspect Said to Be Caught TOKYO - The man thought to be the final suspect from the doomsday cult behind the 1995 nerve-gas poisoning in a crowded subway station here that killed 13 people and sickened thousands of others was arrested on Friday, the police said. Investigators arrested the suspect, Katsuya Takahashi, 54, near an Internet cafe in central Tokyo after receiving a tip that a man resembling the fugitive had been spotted there, according to the public broadcaster NHK. Mr. Takahashi was arrested on suspicion of murder. His arrest came less than two weeks after Naoko Kikuchi, who is suspected of being an accomplice, was taken into custody in a Tokyo suburb. The police had said that information gathered during her arrest had put them on the trail of Mr. Takahashi. Both suspects had managed to elude the authorities for 17 years, though their photographs appeared on wanted posters across Japan. The manhunt gained traction after another member of the Aum Shinrikyo cult wanted in connection with the attack, Makoto Hirata, turned himself in to the police five months ago. Mr. Takahashi is thought to have used an alias as he lived in several apartments and hotels in Yokohama and Kawasaki, just outside Tokyo. He most recently worked at a construction company in Kawasaki, according to local news reports, but took leave after Ms. Kikuchi's arrest this month. Shortly after that arrest, security cameras at a bank in Kawasaki captured the image of a man thought to be Mr. Takahashi as he withdrew a large amount of money. Mr. Takahashi is accused of driving a cult member to the subway station, which served Tokyo's central government offices, during the morning rush on March 20, 1995. There, cult members released deadly sarin gas in an attack that they believed would start an apocalyptic battle with the government. The cult's blind leader, Chizuo Matsumoto, more commonly known by his cult name, Shoko Asahara, was convicted of masterminding the attack and has been sentenced to death.
