AUM members move under local pressure (0 words)
KAWAGUCHI, Saitama - Witch-hunters trying to expel members of doomsday cult AUM Shinrikyo from Kawaguchi are up in arms after the cultists vacated one factory in the city only to relocate in another close by.
In the face of vehement opposition among local residents to their presence, cultists accepted eviction notices and reluctantly agreed to shift away from the computer factory they had set up in Kawaguchi.
Though it appears the cult's move to Yao, 15 kilometers away, is for real, Kawaguchi residents fear they haven't seen the last of AUM yet.
