** FILE ** Shoko Asahara, the guru of doomsday cult Aum Shinri Kyo, is driven away from the Tokyo District Court to the Metropolitan Police headquarters after a 10-day extension of his detention was approved in Tokyo in this July 7, 1995 photo. Asahara was sentenced to hang for leading a doomsday cult in a series of crimes culminating in a nerve-gas attack on Tokyo's subways that killed 12 and sickened 5,000 more just after the morning rush hour on March 20, 1995. In June, 2006, Asahara's lawyers filed a special petition with Japan's Supreme Court in what could be their last chance to keep him from going to the gallows. (AP Photo/Shizuo Kambayashi, FILE)
