Car Bomb (2008)
Many Rivers Films for Channel 4




Overview:

Plot Summary:

For generations the greatest perceived threat to the West has been nuclear. But the greatest threat is actually a far less sophisticated piece of weaponry, comprising just a stolen vehicle and a boot-load of homemade explosives. Crude and deadly, this threat is the car bomb. From the team behind the critically acclaimed Cult of the Suicide Bomber comes this two-part series.

Ex-CIA operative Robert Baer, whose life story was depicted by Oscar-winner George Clooney in hit Hollywood movie Syriana , charts for the first time the evolution of this simple, but most deadly of insurgent weapons. He travels through London, South Armagh, Oklahoma, Sicily, Iraq and New York, and using the access only available to a former intelligence officer, secures interviews with former members of the IRA, the Cosa Nostra and student radicals. Combining this with never-before-seen footage, this major exploration into the methodology of terrorism shows just how serious a threat the car bomb is and sets about to answer the big question: Can we defeat it?

Baer is obviously a man who knows his stuff and he's a good interviewer, whose deceptively easy-going manner draws forth some appalling stories of mass murder in the pursuit of a cause. Continuing his look at the nature of terrorism today he examines of what he describes as "the deadliest weapon of the 21st century".


Episode Information:

Part 1

Original Air Date: 27 July 2008

Baer looks at the car bomb's origins finding the actually go much further back, to 1920 when an Italian anarchist (or so it's believed) steered a horse-drawn cart packed with explosives into Wall Street. The blast tore at the heart of the New York financial district and killed more than 40 people. Baer tracks the development of a terrifyingly simple, cheap and appallingly effective weapon of guerrilla war from this first outrage to its devastating contemporary prevalence. Along the way, he revisits Beirut and recalls the bombing of the city's American Embassy in 1983, which killed many of his friends and CIA colleagues.
