From the FAQ's: Religion again. Doesn't it figure?

What is the most scary incident to date of biological or chemical terrorism?

On March 20, 1995 the religious cult, Aum Shinrikyo (Supreme Truth) released sarin gas into the Tokyo subway system. Aum members had placed small containers in the trains filled with sarin gas that they then punctured during morning rush hour. Twelve people died and over 5,000 were injured. Due to the poor quality of the sarin gas and the inadequate delivery system, the casualty rate was low for a subway system that handles five million riders each day. Aum Shinrikyo was founded in 1987 by Shoko Asahara. The group had actively developed both biological and chemical weapons and are suspected of running smaller tests on the population before the subway attack.
