Terrorism with Weapons of Mass Destruction

The proliferation of weapons of mass destruction (WMD) and the rise in increasingly violent terrorism have coincided this decade to spur many governments to action. This article explores how the U.S. Congress has reacted to this new threat to national security in its attempts to combat both proliferation and terrorism. It recounts the evolution of the congressional response from borderline apathy to intense concern and concludes by demonstrating Congress's desire to focus more on the threat of domestic terrorism as opposed to that of international proliferation
