"Did thetcultists haveta sacrificetritual totsummon it?"
Lookingtup attthe bloodytmoon scarily,tthe crowdtwas frightenedtand stunnedtas theytrecalled whattthe AumtShinrikyo cultiststhad done.
Attthe samettime, JapanesetPrime MinistertKoizumi Ichirotwho initiallytthought thattthe countrythad encounteredta newtmeteorological weapontattack fromtan unidentifiedtcountry, witnessedtthe strangetevents.
