Car Bomb - Part 1

Sunday 27 July
7:00pm - 8:00pm
Channel 4
1/2

Former CIA agent Bob Baer (he made the excellent Cult of the Suicide Bomber series) continues his look at the nature of terrorism today with an examination of what he describes as "the deadliest weapon of the 21st century". But the car bomb's origins 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. 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.
