| Description | The U.S. Department of Homeland Security might classify fentanyl, a highly addictive pain reliever that’s at the center of American’s opioid epidemic, as a weapon of mass destruction, according to a leaked document obtained by military-focused news site Task & Purpose.
Task & Purpose obtained an internal DHS memo titled “Use of counter-WMD authorities to combat fentanyl,” that was prepared by James F. McDonnell, the DHS assistant secretary for countering weapons of mass destruction, who describes the opioid drug as a possible “mass casualty weapon” that is “attractive to threat actors seeking nonconventional materials for a chemical weapons attack.” |
