A new report by the Institute of Foreign Policy Analysis warns that foreign enemies and even terrorists with nuclear weapons could cause catastrophic electronic disruptions by detonating a nuclear bomb in the atmosphere, or using dedicated electro-magnetic pulse (EMP) weapons. “Among the threats facing the United States are short-range ballistic missiles launched from vessels such as freighters, tankers, or container ships off our shores to detonate a warhead that could have catastrophic Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) consequences for the United States,” the report by Henry Cooper and Robert L. Pfaltzgraff stated.
