"Others [terrorists] are engaging even in an eco-type of
              terrorism whereby they can alter the climate, set off earthquakes,
              volcanoes remotely through the use of electromagnetic waves... So
              there are plenty of ingenious minds out there that are at work
              finding ways in which they can wreak terror upon other
              nations...It's real, and that's the reason why we have to
              intensify our [counterterrorism] efforts." 
              Secretary of Defense William Cohen at an April
              1997 counterterrorism conference sponsored by former Senator Sam
              Nunn.
