This was the aspect that got my attention.
My (limited) understanding of nerve agents suggested that if they had been targetted with a military grade agent with the intent to kill, it would have been quick acting, so effectively they must have been sitting on the park bench when a person unknown walked by and simply sprayed the area. This leaving a defusing cloud of stuff that would affect passers-by to varying degrees - hence why a total of 21 people were treated, in the case of the policeman, he probably walked right into the middle of the cloud and breathed the air directly around the victims.
I hence think the various press stories about, it being in the car, at the restaurant etc. etc. to be misdirections, probably due to the press trying to make sense of an investigation that they are distinctly being kept on the outside of.
