US Sens. Bob Casey (D-Pa.) and Richard Burr (R-NC) formed a Senate caucus last week to explore the threat of terrorist attacks using weapons of mass destruction.
Casey and Burr stood up the Senate Caucus on WMD Terrorism Feb. 12 to informally pool the resources and attention of a group of senators on the topic of terrorist threats posed by chemical, biological, nuclear and radiological attacks.
