Car bomb

Car bomb  (Bomb,  Weapon,  “Terrorism”)
Type	technological
Bombs in cars, called the deadliest weapon in the 20th century.

A car bomb, bus bomb, van bomb, lorry bomb, or truck bomb, also known as a vehicle-borne improvised explosive device, is an improvised explosive device designed to be detonated in an automobile or other vehicles. Car bombs are often either meant to assassinate people, or buildings or objects. According to former CIA agent Robert Baer, they are often impossible to detect and should "hold the title of the deadliest weapon of the 1900s because they have been easy to make but can cause damage that's comparable to predator drones or landmines".

Official narrative

A trailer for a recommended film about the rise of the car bomb usage in deep statecraft, by former CIA agent Robert Baer.

As of August 2014, the Wikipedia page contained five images of car bombs: 3 in Iraq, 1 by the Vietcong, and 1 in USA used to train TSA. The official stance agreed on Wikipedia argues the American CIA has occasionally been accused of being behind car bombings. One such attack was the failed assassination attempt on Grand Ayatollah Mohammad Hussein Fadlallah in the Beirut car bombing on 8 March 1985 claiming "although there has been widespread speculation of CIA involvement, this has never been proven conclusively."

Usage

In the fall of 2005, there were 140 car bombings happening per month. Mass-casualty car bombing, and especially suicide car bombing, became a often preferred tactic in the middle east during the war on terror. The tactic was first introduced to the region by the Zionist paramilitary organization Lehi, who used it extensively against Palestinian and British civilian and military targets; it was subsequently taken up by Palestinian militants as well.

It was a very popular tactic during the Provisional Irish Republican Army campaign during The Troubles in Northern Ireland.
