my name is bob baer. i used to be a cia agent stationed in the levanon during the civil war. it was chaos. but the real threat was always car bombs. but until now the car bomb secret history has never been told who invented it who developed it and who killed. i've come back to the one city where car bombs have forever shaped our history. beirut. i loved beirut. it was a great place to be

a spy. and then the embassy got hit. by a suicide car. sixty three dead dead american dead lebanese six of my close colleagues friends in the cia were killed. carsten to that saw the bomb go off. and suddenly i saw this. this white star totally the whole embassy and then of course the bank and then when i looked up. and i ran over and there i saw death and destruction and chaos. it was a stunning assault. one man with a car could wage war in the united states ironically with an american truck. there is one man who knows a lot about lebanese car bombs. mahmoud. a top expert

who defused dozens of bombs. christian car bombs palestinian car bombs muslim car bombs. and a long drawn out so will. then i was the only expert who has this mental income goans in lebanon. russia became too good at stopping car. and then his adversaries decided to target him. one day they left the boma especially for me. it was activated by remote control and as soon as i touched the bomb. they blew it up. on feb fourteenth two thousand and five a former lebanese prime minister hariri presidential cavalcade was destroyed by

a two ton car. the c.c.t.v. camera captured the vehicle this white truck. in the traffic. black mercedes drew alongside the bomb went off. really was one of the world's richest man a billionaire. his mercedes was armored to the hilt these six. the best protection level there is. truly the root is the home of the modern car the car bombs we're seeing today in iraq were developed on the streets suicide car bomb belts police type baghdad closing bell around twenty million and six police officers. to get into the war in iraq we saw

dozens of lebanese crossing the border into syria. and it was only a matter of time before a car bomb started on. a car bombing might have become a lebanese national custom but the lebanese never created the car bomb. like a lot of other things in the twentieth century car bombs are an american invention . by the one nine hundred twenty s. new york had become the financial center of world capitalism. but then in september one thousand twenty eight wall street was rocked by a massive explosion. it was the world's first car bomb. where we're walking right now is exactly where

if you'd been standing here on september sixteenth one thousand nine hundred twenty you would have been hit by the bomb over here what was then the u.s. sub-treasury. and of course the stock exchange with a big flag on it there seemed buildings that would have been here most famously the morgan bank. and that really was and in some ways still is just the epicenter of american capitalism and government tell me what happened here at about twelve zero one away again were strong way again exploded into the lunchtime crowd. they killed about forty people in the street and injured hundreds of people who is fairly sophisticated i mean whoever built this thing. know what they're doing they knew what they were doing and of course the question immediately became who was that person or who were those people and the best theory is that it was a man named mario bhutto who was an italian an artist who was

a lone operator and he was even within this circle of the militant anarchists very committed revolutionaries he was the committed of the committed a what did he want though i mean it was there anything that give us an idea what these guys want to there was a lawyer found in a mailbox nearby who blocks up that way that said free the political prisoners or it will be death to all of you and it was signed the american anarchist fighters the political prisoners were two italian anarchistic sacco and vanzetti who had been arrested and later executed by the federal government after an abortive bank robbery. it was a notorious case and critics claimed it was a show trial. it was a close associate of both men. so the idea was that this had been somehow a blow against capitalism the idea of street the idea of banks a big moment of labor warfare

a revolution you just have also that revolution so that whole system of capitalism government put together was what they were striking a blow at this was the first car bomb right and it was the first car i don't know of course it's not a car and incense but it was a leg and bob was invented right here wall street. what happened to buddha buddha actually fled the united states he went back to italy but he never came back to the states as far as anyone knows. the wall street explosion was not just the first car bomb it was a terrorist blueprint. and the car bomb would next appear in the middle east in palestine in the violent struggle over the founding of the state of israel. in the one nine hundred forty s. palestine was under british rule. the majority arab population were opposed to a jewish state. the same time extremists jewish factions like the stern

gang waged a terrorist campaign against those who they saw as enemies of the future jewish state. arabs and british troops. stern's organisation. freedom fighters of israel were determined to drive arabs out by terror from wildlife saw as their rightful jewish homeland. who started the first car bombing here in this case tools. to whose decision was that the alterations to the sizes. it was the headquarters of the five people. left he were opposed to any deal with the arabs by the mainstream jewish leadership led by david ben-gurion. and planning car bombs

was a shortcut to provoking an all out war. on january the fourth one nine hundred forty eight left he struck. their target was the sariah building in the heart of java a densely populated arab district. disguised as arabs like he. drove a truck packed with two hundred pounds of explosives and park close to the building . the electric timer was set for eighty seconds to let the bombers get away. the explosion killed twenty eight including innocent passers by and injured hundreds. less he did not have a monopoly on climbing car bombs. the palestinians made plans to strike back using their own bomb maker. trained by the nazis during world war two.

thousand sister nigeria was close to him. she has never spoken about her brother before. she came to three what sort of training did he get in germany you talk it was called commando command. and he had not seen a train clue that wireless devices communications and all types of explosives. six weeks after soraya thousand targeted jewish stronghold ben yehuda street in the heart of jerusalem this insanity take in your whole district was in charge of the operation he was in charge he planned at the beginning the middle and the end of the street. but you're a slum in one nine hundred forty eight was an armed camp. jewish areas protected by checkpoints and rifle bearing guards. the only way through was to disguise the bond

vehicles as a british military convoy. and the men driving those trucks were six british army deserters. we should assume we both are true british designer so you weren't any of the dusters you knew who were quick who were the ones that were sent us to the mat comes the steamy and i thought they were not just so good there was a big in them about the cliff soldiers who were working with him. and they were against the prince policy keith ellison a line through people from then and there placed them with other people that those american who a sow's ear used to plan missions with them and they used to carry it out so you got home enough to. parking the truck bombs close to two hotels being used as barracks by jewish fighters the desert or shot a security guard. and then fled. i don't you know that's a it's a fuse so it's notion. they can. get up get out because if it's going

to be a surveillance we wanted to just still k.'s we're waiting for the last. three thousand pound bombs tore through the surrounding buildings killing sixty. hina was not just an eyewitness she was also allegedly a member and taken part in bombing operations let me ask you this question did the truck bomb make you with the resistance. to make you angry or to make me angry but. leave when people point to a call. with a clue to the civilians being killed going to war against those who guillotine you know you to. lead the way the first terrorist group in the world to use car bombs but they would not be the last. verse the

jews in the arabs. the world's first car bomb more or. less. planet four. and thousand of planet four hundred twenty people died. a car bombing only stopped in may one nine hundred forty eight when war broke out and the checkpoints became front lines. a new terror weapon cheap and convenient had been born. but palestine in one nine hundred forty eight did produce one further novelty. a car bomb as a key assassination weapon when i could to try to blow up the jewish political leadership. what happened in this building here where he was the government of the jews and that it's in this second floor healer was the chum bill of this young

thing father of the state officer that he'd been going to ups wanted to kill him and say believe that if they would kill him jews may not establish their state the special east of the arabs if i was in complete. explosion and the cow was exploding you know how many people were killed when seven people were killed and hunger. would have happened. if ben-gurion had been this office the fame been going on between. jews rooting establish a state because he was only i mean he's the only leader but he was is you can say george washington george washington of the united states. sas eating your enemy supreme leader is nothing new the president abraham lincoln what was new was the

car bomb. parked in the right place packed with enough explosives you can target any man on earth. kings and presidents have to drive the roads just like the rest of us and the moment you do your vulnerable. car bombs are so easy you can use them purely for business if your business is controlling the world's heroin supply. in the early sixty's the sicilian mafia discovered a new way to make rival mafiosa disappear right booby trapping their cars and blowing them to pieces. in sicily the power of the mafia is as old as the statute. five million people live here. but hidden amongst them is an estimated seven thousand mafia members.

of the power of the cosa nostra is felt everywhere from the highest political office right down to the smallest market stall. this market is the party of here. so we how do you know the mafia is here. because. the two plus to the finish you call those. things started to change in one nine hundred fifty seven when the sicilian an american mafia met in this lavish palermo hotel organized the world's heroin trade. goods business did not run smooth. in one nine hundred sixty three the first mafia war broke out between two clans the greco those and the barbera is.

giovanni stocco is an anti mafia campaigner but he is also the net. if you are the key mafia boss cesare. month l o was an ally of the greco and the first mafioso to be assassinated with a car bomb. my kid a it up well a cow was blocking his drive and he needed to go beyond it to enter into the. the car was exactly the same type belonged to a friend because he thought he was his friend. so it got into the new car turn the key and the explosion happens and get out of school why did they not when they killed your uncle use a pistol instead of. my uncle's murder was the first mafia and their first act of terrorism at least they got my killing my uncle in this way they

wanted to emphasize their revenge given that the mafia stopped using car bombs for seventeen years until a new more ruthless generation of mafia leaders took over and used car bombs to assassinate judges and magistrates. but every judge they blow up turned the heat on more arrests trials prison. but unlike the mafia the next car bombers wanted the blast of their homemade bomb to reverberate all the way to the white house. it was do it yourself terrorism ventral trail of destruction would span the globe from ireland oklahoma and the middle east . a car bomb was about to become the perfect lethal weapon. in the late sixty's

students at the university of wisconsin in the midwest were in revolt. there were daily demonstrations protests. alan thompson was an f.b.i. special agent assigned to the state capitol in madison. and what was it like in one thousand seven hundred what were the students like what was happening here well the students were. really involved with the fifth the vietnam war there was demonstrations going on and some of them were very violent there was a lot of tear gas lot of broken windows what was the dimia the key demand was to get out of vietnam. but it tiny splinter group of students saw themselves as

already at war with the nixon administration. and the nearest target was close at hand the campus army math research center. a research lab funded by the pentagon and housed in the department of physics. at three forty two am on the twenty fourth of august nine hundred seventy an explosion destroyed the army math center. hundreds of f.b.i. agents from all over the united states were sent to wisconsin this was extreme interest to the white house was that this yellow explosion absolutely it went all the way to the director's desk there was daily contact with the the oval office as to what was happening out here and why it happened and we had to come up with samantha's real fast as to what was what was going on so anyone killed yes

a young physicist by the name of robert foster not was killed in initial blast. the f.b.i. team immediately focused their investigation on a car spotted flaying from the scene at high speed. the bombers were led by a twenty two year old college dropout carl armstrong. this is the route you came up for the one armstrong agreed for the first time to return to the building in. talk about the night he saw wisconsin. where did the idea come from the car bomb my brother the wife and i were like basically you know we were considering ways to bring out three search center them my brother guy says well why don't we just fill up a truck full of explosives in a sudden off aside a moment and my immediate reaction was that's crazy the armstrong brothers stumbled

upon the ultimate terrorist weapon of the twentieth century. but there was another deadly twist they got the base materials for their explosives in the local hardware store. first while we bought the materials from a farmer's co-op noni nitrate and fuel oil and then we transported to our prep site which was a farmer's field and that basically we just put in all the ammonium nitrate and you know except by hand own only just poured it into the barrel. i mean how do you get the idea we didn't have the internet. so basically the formula is in the encyclopedia britannica under was. also for much of the whole thing cost three. hundred dollars for. carl and his three fellow student bombers then stole

a van and mixed the explosives together. they drove to the university. inside the van was a time and a half of explosives. well i'm. ashamed that you know robert people were injured. but i have no regrets for my motivations for doing it and doing it was a message and we were trying to send it off to the government. after the bombing armstrong fled to canada and was a fugitive for two years. but was then extradited back to wisconsin. his trial was a cause celebre for many in the end i wore a movement. he served ten years in prison. sad part about it is that the the research that they claim of the army man's

research and it was doing was not research for the army at all so in other words this is an act of protest the turning back to murder absolutely absolutely counterproductive counterproductive here in madison and probably throughout the united states you know the significance of this is you can take a group of amateurs. with almost nobody would like one hundred dollars stolen car fertilizer. so it was in the sense it was a turning point. basically a hundred dollars you can shake the country exactly. in here broadcasting live from washington d.c. coming up today in the big picture.
