If terrorists get their hands on a low yield nuclear weapon they are not going to use it to create an EMP by detonating it in the upper atmosphere.

I concur...to them, I think EMP is just a valuable side-effect. Why just disable equipment by detonating over high altitude when you can take out a city?
