Terrorism sparks heartfelt aftermath

Although terror-attack survivors often rebound emotionally, their bodies stay on heightened alert long after such traumas, a new investigation suggests.

Psychiatrist Phebe M. Tucker of the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center in Oklahoma City examined 60 people who had been directly exposed to the 1995 Oklahoma City bomb blast and 60 other people who lived near the bombing site but didn’t witness the blast or have friends or relatives killed in the incident.
