"Unless our demands are met, we will destroy the world's communication network."

The United Nations did not bargain with terrorists.  Hunter-Killer satellites came online.  The deadline passed.

One by one, the geosynchronous comm-sats blinked out.  Within 12 hours, they were all dead, turned into so much shrapnel.  The Hunter-Killers never had a chance.   New satellites were sent up, and destroyed within hours.

One hundred tons of sand in counter-synchronous orbit had done the job.
