El acto desencadenante, el ataque con gas ... 5000 personas, ...


Explanation:
El acto desencadenante, el ataque con gas ... 5000 personas, ...

Yo lo armaría así, asumiendo que el primero de tus "bla" es el verbo principal de la oración.

Con mi background técnico tiendo a traducir threshold como "umbral", pero en este caso me gusta como queda "desencadenante".

Cre que solo falta una coma, entre "act" y "the"....


Explanation:
Ahora, ¿cómo traducir "threshold"?. Me parece que la mejor opción sería "inicial". Aunque si quieres darle un giro más "dramatúrgico" al documento podrías decir, "El primer acto, el ataque con ...."

HTH.
