Post: Concerned that not enough attention is being paid to
the risk of a nuclear attack, a Senate committee yesterday
looked at the consequences of such a terrorist strike in
Washington -- and said that more could be done to save lives.
A hearing, called by the Committee on Homeland Security and Government Affairs, featured charts showing the horrific effects of a small nuclear device detonating near the White House. It was the panel's third session in recent months on the threat of a nuclear explosion.
