"Government officials have failed to inspect nearly all of the chemical plants considered to be at high risk for terrorist attacks, according to congressional investigators.
The Associated Press reports that a year-long investigation by Republican staff on the Senate Homeland Security Committee chronicles delayed government inspections, errors in assessing risks, and industry loopholes in the $595 million terror-prevention program passed in 2006.
