Answer:
Aum Shinrikyo was a Japanese religious group that became world famous in 1995 after members of the group carried out a terrorist attack in Tokyo with chemical agents.
The sect and its leader became world famous after the poison gas attack in Tokyo's subway in 1995. Twelve people were killed and around 1300 injured. The founder and leader of the sect was Shoko Asahara.
In the investigations that followed the Tokyo underground gas attack, the group found that they had so much raw material available that they could have produced enough sarin to kill 4.2 million people. In the wake of the terrorist attacks, 191 members of the group were indicted.
Thirteen members of the sect were sentenced to death, and were executed in the summer of 2018.
The attacks of this terrorist group generated panic in Japanese society, which began to worry much more about possible terrorist attacks, with which the Japanese government began to deal much more with the country's internal security.
