Chemicals as terror targets loom over plants
The Washington Post report details fears that chemical plants could be prime terrorist targets after Sept 11. It cites a near miss in Tennessee where a pilot linked to Atta explored a plant with 250 tons of sulfur dioxide, warning of possible vapor catastrophe affecting thousands. EPA data show many plants store dangerous chemicals with no federal counterterrorism standard, relying on voluntary industry action.
