They released it in Tokyo and killed a handful of people. If members of a religious cult could make or acquire the stuff couldn't a group of rebels or an outside actor, knowing that we'd then bomb the shit out of Assad.

This smells of an outside actor to me, but what do I know, maybe Assad did this in a war that he is already winning because he wanted to be bombed by the Americans. Maybe he pays for spankings and humiliation as well.

FFS, the cult did the equivalent of a dirty bomb. This was large scale. During shelling. KittyWampus Aug 2013 #4
