WAXMAN ON STATE DEPT TERRORISM REPORT Rep. Henry Waxman (D-CA) this week challenged the decision by the U.S. State Department to cease providing data on the number of terrorist incidents in its annual report on terrorism.
Rep. Waxman noted that the number of terrorist incidents had reportedly risen over the past year and he asked the State Department Inspector General to investigate "whether political considerations played a role in the decision" to stop reporting their number in the congressionally-mandated annual report.
