Gaffney: EMP Attack on US Means 9 Out of 10 Dead Within 12 Months

Center for Security Policy President Frank Gaffney states that an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) attack would be “catastrophic” for the United States. While all terrorist attacks concern him, he offers special attention to the destruction from an EMP. He says such an attack on the U.S. could cause nine out of ten deaths within a year, from factors such as starvation, particularly in urban areas.
