Not going to happen. The effects of an EMP going off above an industrialized nation are not going to be all that far off from using conventional nuclear bombs. Israel making use of precision strikes, or even a tactical nuke against the nuclear weapon facilities of Iran is one thing - effectively signing the death warrant of millions is another altogether.For EMP effect it must be detonated at extremely high altitudes to cover a large area. A nuclear detonation many kilometers above the earth will not have any physical damage to structures on the ground. The radiation will be minimal. Follow the link for a good explanation of EMP.

If everything electrical is put out of commission, how will be know it happened? It’ll take a CNN reporter on a camel a long time to get to the nearest telephone to file a report.
