Aum are like cockroaches, you never seem to be able to get rid of them.

To where did they deport them? Somewhere some innocents will die, instead of Mucovites and Montenegrans? Sounds like a Putin strategy; let the enemy kill other enemies (or worse, innocents).

Trevor, er, they will have been deported back to where they came from, the Russians back to Russia, for example, wouldn't you think?

According to intl protocols, deportees must be deported to the country which is stated on their passport.

Some of these fools must be desperate if they choose Russia to hide out in.

Good preventive strategy - a policy which others should follow. With enough home-grown dangerous people in their own countries, why entertain the presence of other countries' crackpots?

Wow, they are still around, and in Russia to boot?

Aum, so 1995. Get with the times.

Why are Japanese authorities virtually silent about this? We already know from earlier reports about the arrests in Montenegro that Japanese nationals were involved. Presumably, they were deported to Japan and presumably the authorities here had advance warning that they were on their way. From a public safety standpoint, the least we might have expected would have been some kind of public statement from the relevant authorities, telling us not to worry, that they've got everything under control. Yet we've heard nothing at all. What about the media too? Isn't part of what they do chasing up stories such as this? Asleep at the wheel too it seems. Perhaps I've just got it all wrong; our not being told anything is actually entirely reasonable and explicable as a kindly and benevolent concern to protect us from hearing about things that might trigger heart palpitations and bad dreams........In that case, I take back everything I said and vow to strive harder to cultivate the automatic trusting nature I know my betters would like of me.
