Does anyone have any information (and book refs) on nerve agents in use in
the shadowrun time period. I'm planning on putting a terrorist strike
similar to the Tokyo underground sarin attacks of 1995 in my game and
linking it (eventually) back to the a winternight cell.
Any help much appreciated

There's a few nerve agents in Man & Machine, in the chemistry section,
but you can improvise your own without having to buy the book - just
make them have a relatively high damage code (something like 6D) and be
nigh-undetectable until the victim is pretty much dead :).

Green Ring 3 and its nasty cousin Green Ring 8 (both are in M&M) are both
nerve agents, as is Seven-7. Mind you, they all have pretty stupid
Availability numbers, which would tend to put them out of the reach of
terrorist groups or cult wackos...unless, of course, said terrorist groups
or cult wackos have somebody inside our corporate pals at Mitsushama who
slipped them the nasty stuff. The plot thickens...
