Another, possibly more likely event would be the detonation of an "electronic bomb". This is where a conventional explosive is encased in a charged high voltage coil. The resulting EMP burst destroys all circuits within miles - even if the circuit is not in use. It literally fries all electronics, and the package is small and not radioactive. A weapon like this would be devastating to our information systems, communications, hospitals, etc. I'll find the article about it and post it.

"Another, possibly more likely event would be the detonation of an "electronic bomb"." I don't think that they have that capability. That would have to be a 'big' bomb and exploded high up to do serious damage.
