Untold story of how a deadly Japanese doomsday cult bought 400,000 hectares in the Australian Outback to test a Nazi nerve agent on sheep - before they poisoned 5,500 commuters in Tokyo's subway

[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • The Aum Supreme Truth cult was founded by Shoko Asahara in Japan in 1984

  • The sect purchased the remote Banjawarn Station in Western Australian in 1993

  • Cult members used the property to test the deadly nerve agent sarin on sheep

  • In 1995 they released sarin into the Tokyo subway system, killing 12 commuters

  • The sect planned to stage terrorist attacks its leader believed would start a nuclear war between superpowers, and remote Australia seemed a safe place to seek refuge in the fallout
