Hang on, VX? You mean the nerve agent from The Rock?

Well I guess we have no choice. Someone get Nicholas Cage and then get Sean Connery out of prison with long hair.

Apparently, VX was also used in Japan by some guys who managed to mix it up in their homes - they attacked three people, one died. It's possible, but difficult, I'd assume.

Nevertheless, it seems more probable that this is professional stuff, not some home-cooked variant from some looneys. The whole attack seems too well planned to leave it to some haphazardly brewed concoction.

The Aum Shinrikyo cult in Japan produced Sarin and VX nerve agents in the early 1990s.
