JAPAN--The crime that hit subway trains in central Tokyo is nothing more than indiscriminate mass murder. ... The passengers were innocent victims who had no means to protect themselves from such an unthinkable crime. Such a senseless and indiscriminate act was unprecedented in the nation's crime history. It is so extremely bizarre that it transgressed human tolerance. ...

The nation has observed a series of similar weird incidents. Earlier in March, some chemical was brought into a train running in Yokohama. More than 10 passengers complained of nausea and other symptoms. At Kasumigaseki Station, suspicious attache cases started to produce vapor. The nation needs to cut off such a dangerous circle of crimes.
