Both Matsumoto City and Tokyo subway chemical terrorism attacks shocked not only the Japanese but also the entire world. Sarin is an extremely toxic gas stockpiled by many countries as a chemical weapon. Until 1994 in Matsumoto City and 1995 at the Tokyo subway, it was generally believed that sarin would be used on the battleground. But this myth was shattered by these two incidents when sarin was used on defenseless civilians. Although chemical terrorism described in this book occurred in Japan, there are no boundaries for chemical and biological terrorism.
