The multimegaton bombs are Thermo-nuclear, i.e., Hydrogen bombs. A few of those will take out a large city. A fisson bomb is usually measured in kilotons. While these are bad, they are not capable of completely destroying a large city, let alone a state. They would make a mess of a multi-square mile area. Stregeically placed, one could take out all branches of our Federal Govt, though.
No terrorist group would be able to make fusion bombs. Way too big.

First of all, anybody can do anything they can afford.
Second, you don't have to destroy a city to kill or injure everybody there.
Third, taking out our government has it's ups and downs. Mostly downs, but let's not try and fool ourselves that there aren't some severe A-holes we couldn't all do without. Although I still woudn't condone killing anybody just for being a prick. Lord knows, most of the people in my family would've been dead long before they had the chance to make me.
Rhode Island is a multi-square mile area...and a state. So is New York, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Dallas etc.
Fifth, anybody can do anything they can afford...except buy happiness (although I hear it makes a nice down-payment)
