Rico is an unknown quantity at this point
right. so the attack is supposed to fail? Then that is another matter entirely. okay, so your attack would have to be big enough to buy time, then it would have to go a reasonable amount towards completion in order to draw away a gov'ts attention from other activites that this terrorist group plans to pursue. I am assuming that these multiple attacks occur in the same nation. if that is not the case, then said distraction would have to go a lot further towards completion. but if they were in the same nation, a large enough attack would distract and draw away enough attention from the gov't to say, attack a water supply. i am also assuming that this is the SAME terrorist group pulling off multiple acts. this would be easier than if there were multiple groups. with multiple groups there would obviously have to be much more coordination. your distraction would not, as i have mentioned, have to go all the way to completion, but it would have to affect a reasonable amount of a population (say, 5-10% of the population of the area) in order to distract enough attention away from the real attack.

Just a minor gas attack in a highly used area like a subway would be distracting to any populace. Take into account the way the media works and the attention would be drawn to the foiled attack instead of the real one. This plot takes place in one of the more modernized countries, right?

benzene or ether... though they're highly flammable. Can be compressed easily to form liquids and are extremely volatile.

Chlorine works too. I inhaled chlorine once - a very small bit. And I almost vomited and passed out
