28. Aum Shinrikyo Cult Against Japanese Civilians, 1994: 7 Casualties, 270 Wounded
Aum Shinrikyo is a doomsday cult in Japan that was founded in 1984 by Shoko Asahara. The group has been accused of forcing people to join against their will, deceiving recruits, making false accusations and blackmailing members, and forcing people to give money.
Members of Aum Shinrikyo engaged in multiple terror attacks, including spraying the anthrax bacteria from a building in the hopes of causing an epidemic. In 1993, the group began to manufacture sarin, a powerful nerve agent. The next year, it released sarin into Matsumoto, a large Japanese city to try to kill people involved in a lawsuit against cult members. Eight people died.
