Car Bomb: According to the CIA | PART 1 | Full Documentary

Forget about nuclear missiles. The decisive weapon of the twenty-first century is the car bomb.

After Iraq we now know that you can defeat a superpower, start a civil war or just blow up your own government with a trunk load of home-made explosives and a battered old car.

For fifty years we were all told that nuclear weapons were the real threat, but that's a lie. The real terrorist threat has always been the car bomb, crude and unstoppable. From America to the Middle East, to Ireland and Europe it has shaped twentieth century conflict. But until now, the car bombs secret history has never been told. Who invented it, who developed it and who killed with it.

In this startling new 2 x 1 hour mini series, ex-CIA agent Bob Baer, whose life was depicted by George Clooney in the Oscar winning movie ’Syriana’, uncovers the history of this extraordinary weapon.

With shocking footage of car bomb attacks and penetrating interviews with car bombers, Baer reveals how the century of the car turned into the century of the car bomb.

This documentary was produced by MANY RIVERS FILMS and directed by KEVIN TOOLIS. It was first released in 2008.

Volume equalization ruined a good video

[wingerath]

Unfortunately much too loud sound effects and much too quiet speaker.

It's nearly impossible to watch for me.

[AkakiosMisko]

Don't get involved in other country's business.

[gelconnolly]

I was behind the blast wall in Bravo Alpha in Belfast when one went off my ears are still ringing.

[Luftvapenbladet]

Who edited rhe sound, very very bad. Music, speaker, and translate word in jesus!

[lawoftheuniverse]

Bob really gets it done...What a Terrific Report...!!!

@33:04 is living proof that the Med diet of pasta and fish and smoking makes for a long healthy life and you don't end up as a youtube blur. Shame about the audio quality

[mattbrown]

Wow. Is our Secret Service equipped to defend against attacks like these? Sarcastic question of course. If a 20 year old kid with zero training can do it only a matter of time before the pros come visit us again.

Audio Sucks & runs what could hv bn great video!!😡😡😡

[deidradahl]

This has the making of a very good historical documentary, but the annoying noise/distraction, has ruined it. I wonder if the video maker, reviewed his work, by listening to it, before uploading it? I had to flee.

[deidradahl]

One person decided to include music, and distractions in his video, and like sheep, almost everyone follows. Phew

[ksisniper]

so the queer at the end killed a man and got 7 years in prison? makes no sense
