Terrorism targeting industrial chemical facilities: Strategic motivations and implications for U.S. security

Article Abstract:

An international terrorist attack on a domestic industrial chemical facility would cause mass casualties in the United States as more than 15,000 facilities throughout the country store, produce and transport industrial chemicals in substantial quantities. An attack would not only cause loss of lives or injuries to workers and those living around that area but it would detrimentally impact the nation's economy as chemical industry is the largest U.S. exporter, accounting for more than 10% of all exports by dollars.
