The "radio frequency weapon", or E-Bomb, developed at a
secret site in south-west England, sends out a high-intensity radio wave with similar effects to the electromagnetic pulse from a nuclear blast.

It is also able to penetrate the underground bunkers where
Saddam's chemical and biological weapons are stored as
protection from allied bombing. The radio pulse will travel
easily down the bunkers' power and ventilation ducts.

Sounds like this was what debka was talking about when they claimed that there was a new bomb that would "locate" and disable electronic equipment.
