it was a close associate of both men. said the idea was that this had been somehow a blow against capitalism the idea of the street the idea of banks big moment of labor warfare a revolution you just had 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 barrel no of course it's not a car and cents but it was a leg and bob was invented right here wall street. what happened to buddha would have 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 and palestine and 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 extremist 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 leckie freedom fighters of israel were determined to drive arabs out by terror from while back he saw as their rightful jewish homeland. who started the first car bombing here in this tools. whose decision was that the racial. it was the headquarters of the ottoman

fighting forces. 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 short cut to provoking all out war. on january the fourth one nine hundred forty eight black he struck. their target was the sariah building in the heart of java a densely populated arab district. this guys is arabs alive he would bomb teen 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. he did not have a monopoly on planning car bombs. the palestinians made plans to strike back

using their own bomb maker. trained by the nazis during world war two. sister. was close to him. she has never spoken about her brother before. she came to that he would sort of training did he get in germany you're talking to us goes commando commander. and he had us an a.p.o. that wireless devices communications and all types of explosives. six weeks after soraya thousand targeted a jewish stronghold ben yehuda street in the heart of jerusalem santana and he take bin yehuda street was he 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 bomb vehicles as a british military convoy. and the men driving those trucks were six british army deserters. we should tell me about the two british designer seaward daniel just who were all the ones that were sent us to the mat comes the still gun and i thought they were not just so it was a big in them but if soldiers were working with them. and they were against the british policy. this lie through people from their land and their place then with other people they go to the american who is thousand used to plan missions with them and they used to carry it out so you got home a nest of. parking the truck bombs close to two hotels being used as barracks by

jewish fighters in the desert or shot a security guard. and then fled. i don't you and that's it it's a fuse so it's a notion. they can. get up get out because if it's going to be a spill we want it to distil case we were looking 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 taken part in bombing operations let me ask you this question did the truck bomb make you what the resistance. did made you angry or make me angry but should i leave when he was put to a calm. with which the civilians being killed going to war against

those who will. tell you you just. left he were the first terrorist group in the world to use car bombs but they would not be the last. first the jews in the arabs. the world's first car bomb or. left. they planted four. and flowers you planted four hundred twenty people died. the car bombing only stopped in may one thousand 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 the car bomb as a key assassination weapon when i could try to blow up the jewish political

leadership. what happened in this building here where he was the government of the jews and it's in the second flotilla was the chum bells of the if something father of the state of his that he can go to ups one day. and say believe they if they would kill him jews may not establish their state the special east of the arabs and thousand could. go on explosion and the crowd was exploding the field how many people were killed when seven people were killed and we would have happened if ben-gurion had been in this office the fame been going on with the key. jews wouldn't establish a state because he was only a prime minister the lido but he was is you can say jobs washington george

washington in the united states. sassy dating 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 sicilian mafia discovered a new way to make rival mafiosa disappear by booby trapping their cars and blowing them to pieces. in sicily

the power of the mafia is as old as the statues. five million people live here. but hidden amongst them is an estimated seven thousand mafia members. yet 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 final here. so we how do you know the mafia this year. because. the to loot the last of the month to the finish because you'll. see. things started to change in one nine hundred fifty seven when the sicilian american mafia met in this lavish palermo hotel organized the world's heroin trade.

but 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 as. giovanni scotto is an anti mafia campaigner but he is also the net. if you have a key mafia boss cesare month that. month bellow was an ally of the greco. and the first mafioso to be assassinated with a car bomb. mike he made up well a cow was blocking his drive and he needed to go beyond it to enter into the house the car was exactly the same type as belonged to a friend and i mean he thought he was his friend. so it got into the new car turn the key and the explosion happened and he had a stroke why did they not when they killed your uncle use a pistol instead of

a corpse in my uncle's murder was the first mafia and their first act of terrorism. by 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. every judge they blow up turned the heat on more arrests trials present. but unlike the mafia the next car bombers one of the blast of their homemade bomb to reverberate all the way to the white house. it was doing yourself terrorism ventral trail of destruction would spanned the globe from ireland oklahoma and the middle

east. a car bomb was about to be 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 madison. but what was life in one thousand seven hundred what were the students like what was happening here well the students were. really involved with the the vietnam war there was demonstrations going on and some of them were very violent there was

a lot of care gest 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 an extreme interest of the white house was that this yellow explosion absolutely it 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 plane 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 wire armstrong agreed for the first time to return to the building in. talk about the night he thought wisconsin. where did the idea come from the car bomb my brother the wise guy and i were like basically you know we were considering ways to our math research center him my

brother going says oh why don't we just fill up a truck full of explosives in a sudden off aside for 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 bought the base materials for their explosives in the local hardware store. first while we bought the materials from a farmer's co-op in the morning and fuel oil and then we transported it to our prep site which was a farmer's field and not basically we just put in all the ammonium nitrate and you know except by hand oh no only just poured it into the barrel. i mean how did you get the idea you didn't have the internet. so basically the formulas in the encyclopedia britannica under watch. all sins how much of the whole

thing cost you. two hundred dollars for the want of nigeria. carl and his three fellow student bombers then stole a van and mixed 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 bosnak guide people rancher. but i have no regrets for my motivations for doing them and doing it was the 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 war movement. he served ten years in prison. said part about it is that the the research that the claim of the army meth research center 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 of absalom a. lot of progress 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 no money would like one hundred dollars stolen car fertilizer. so it was in a sense it was a turning point absolutely basic one hundred dollars you can shake a country exactly.

colonel gadhafi still hangs on to power as the revolt opens the floodgates and letting refugees pour out on to. a human at all jill so we choose your battles that are rising oil prices and fears of radical islam which is that how the all the rest of the region could impact the wider world. the media empire prepares to strike. the u.s. secretary of state hillary clinton says the u.s. is in an information war with foreign media and is losing it among those who are winning the war she named r t i'll be back with more in just

a few minutes. this is live from moscow libya's oil rich east has reportedly been targeted by as strikes once again the day after forces loyal to colonel gadhafi to control if it were late and forced out by the opposition continues the un's warning of a humanitarian crisis as thousands of flee the country also is policy or has more of the situation in the region. at least one hundred eighty thousand people who have so far fled libya and some seventy five thousand of them are arriving here in tunisia most of them are foreign labor as they are being housed at the border points in tents where they receiving food and medical supplies aid workers who are on the scene are warning that this is reaching crisis point and we're hearing

reports of crisis and chaos at these border points as god's struggle to get the situation under control now fighting is continuing throughout the country at several times between forces loyal to the leader moammar gadhafi and with all forces particularly in those areas around the libyan capital tripoli government forces are struggling to retain control and create creating keep in place a buffer zone around what is still the leaders stronghold they are increasingly fears that the situation could deteriorate into civil war now discussions are continuing at the united nations over a proposed no fly zone over libya now on this idea has been suggested by the british prime minister david cameron if indeed he goes ahead and commit some self to it in essence britain will be committing itself to shooting down aircraft now the idea has been rejected by many in the international community including russia they say that it is for libyans to determine their own fate and their own future it is worth noting that british troops are in the libyan town of bin ghazi their green

it for nearly two weeks and there are also growing concerns that they might take over chemical weapons stockpiles that are in that town and this is because london has indicated that it has fears that could be might use these stockpiles against his own people if this will reason though for those british troops being there is humanitarian reasons it's over also the official reason that's been given by the united states for warships but it's into the region it says it is when ships might be used or at least are they are planning to use them in humanitarian efforts that their options are on the table and this has raised concerns here that they might be behind. it seems some kind of plan for international intervention despite the libyan saying that they can not want to have this. libyan crisis rages on foreign powers away not whether to get involved phyllis bennis director of the washington based the institute for policy studies military intervention is unrealistic and its

recent posturing is just. this is an old story in washington where humanitarian intervention is the excuse of the day i don't think we're going to see the possibility of troop deployments or even that's a sara lee shift involvement i think this is partly a show of force to intimidate gadhafi and to make nice as it were to the new leadership that will be rising in libya to create a new government when gadhafi is overthrown there is no doubt that people in washington and london and elsewhere are scurrying around desperate to figure out ways of ensuring that they get in on the ground floor with these new these new governments that are going to be in power there are oil companies that it chevron and b.p. rather than russian or chinese or other oil companies the people of libya face an even harder challenge than then the people of egypt and tunisia and other countries that have existing governmental institutions in place that they can take over and

use as the base in libya there are no such institutions there is no parliament there is no constitution all of this is being created whole cloth it's an incredibly exciting moment for people in libya but they're paying a huge price in blood to make that possible the democratic revolution that is underway in libya are indigenous home grown revolutionary processes and they don't need us government forces to teach them about them i perceive they are claiming it on their own and that needs to be respected. more on the fallout from the arrest in the middle east and north africa in just a moment but first a look at what else is ahead it's our rule hillary clinton calls the reinforcement saying americans back to the hearts and minds is being lost on the globe's t.v. news screeds. instead of whole millennium follow aussies played soccer team as we told the rich cultural legacy of the gas problem. the ripples

cools by be unrest in northern africa and across the middle east and now being felt far and wide. not south a situation. let's look at the implications of the ongoing unrest in the northern african region and what it means for the rest of the world geographically libya tunisia egypt and these are just some of the countries affected by the civil unrest there just across the sea from europe and estimated hundred forty thousand people have already fled unrest in libya into neighboring tunisia and egypt but the likelihood will actually stay there is rather slim italy has already received as many of thousand refugees who continue to pour into the country france greece and spain may just be next in line even before. the prospect of massive immigration has always been europe's was a nightmare in real terms it has never been substantial we have always

been below thirty thousand. every year. clearly the overthrow of the governments poses a whole different set of issues and what europe will be able to do. on the ability of actually. some of the governments that are most affected i mean imagine if in truman's time call of gadhafi is not overthrown i mean business cannot proceed as usual after something will have to be done if i work on the map of libya in terms of oil production facilities will see that eighty percent of the oil producing territories right now are under rebel control and now europe takes over eighty five percent of libya's crude exports more than thirty percent of libyan oil goes to italy fourteen percent in germany ten percent in china in france and five percent to the united states.
