Which organization carried out the sarin nerve gas attack in the Tokyo subway in 1995?

  1. Boko Haram

  2. ISIS

  3. Al-Qaeda

  4. Aum Shinrikyo

The correct answer is: Aum Shinrikyo

In 1995, the Tokyo subway was a target of a sarin nerve gas attack which killed 13 people and injured thousands. This infamous attack was carried out by the Japanese religious cult called Aum Shinrikyo. It is incorrect to say that Boko Haram was responsible for this attack as they are a Nigerian Salafist militant group and have not been known to operate in Japan. ISIS and Al-Qaeda were both not active in Japan during that time period and there is no evidence linking them to this particular attack. Therefore, the correct answer is D, Aum Shinrikyo.
