The nerve gas sarin was released in commuter trains on three different Tokyo subway lines by a terrorist cult group. Sarin was concealed in lunch boxes and soft-drink containers and placed on subway train floors. It was released as terrorists punctured the containers with umbrellas before leaving the trains. The incident was timed to coincide with rush hour, when trains were packed with commuters. Over 5,500 were injured in the attack. A subway station close to SLIH was one of several sites hit simultaneously in the attack; therefore, many of the victims were sent to SLIH
Remember that a 7lb. block of cyanide salts was found in the safehouse of Abu Zarqawi (Cyanide Salt Block Found in Iraq). Zarqawi is widely believed to have been the person who beheaded Nicholas Berg.
