The group gained international notoriety in 1995, when it carried out a Sarin gas attack in the Tokyosubways.The name "Aum Shinrikyo" (Japanese: オウム真理教 Ōmu Shinrikyō), sometimes written "Aum Shinrikiyo," derives from the Hindu syllable Aum (which represents the universe), followed by Shinrikyo written in kanji, roughly meaning "religion of Truth". In 2000 the organization changed its name to "Aleph" (the first letter of the Hebrew and Arabic alphabet), changing its logo as well.
