He seems to have been successful; in the early '90s, he allegedly traveled in the U.S., raising money, meeting with terrorist cells and scoping out potential targets...
...Name is Rar Rar were costumed in white clothes and angel wings, except for the vocalist, who sported red galoshes, a short, white and red sequined drum majorette costume, a grandmotherly white wig, and huge smears of make up across her face. What appeared to be a cheap plastic toy megaphone in her hands soon made its powers known, as it emitted an awful, shrieking distortion of her voice.

Also the amounts were relatively small. Says Smithson: "Any bozo can make a chemical agent in a beaker, but producing tons and tons is difficult." Aum Shinrikyo tried to make the stuff in bulk, recruiting scientists and spending at least $10 million, but it failed...
