our team. of manny britons prepare to boycott the approaching nationwide census outsourced to a controversial u.s. firm over fears all your personal info by an overseas. one next we bring you the story of a weapon that has become synonymous with terrorism and claims countless lives every year that's a car bomb. now my how many of you know my. homemade explosives slipped across the atlantic into the hands of the ira. the world's first full scale car bomb or was now ready to begin. and the material to make the bombs was lying around in every farmer's barn in ireland. channel callahan was a senior ira bomb maker at the time my understanding is the ira was running out of

explosives and yet we're here at garrett great difficulty in getting hold of the military commercial explosives get smaller concentrate steal from quarry you could knock and we're trying to do you know not to use that net nitrate is probably the biggest commercial for and i'm so and you actually go into the ship and the complete one faction. the british took countermeasures to make it more difficult for the ira to make and for. simply boiling up fertilizer to make explosives no longer works. but the ira also found ways around those restrictions. and ramped up their car bomb or. tommy gorman was one of the ira's top bomb makers in belfast in the one nine hundred seventy s. . tommy's job was to assemble the bombs

set the timer before handing over the device to the bomb who drove the car to its target in the city center. there's people who got sick a pet cause they had the stinger and you got someone who was nervous and never start to panic if they got held up in traffic and about women was well just as good as men so how about a. one of those women was marian price and i didn't i didn't for haven time i was too young and i didn't have a license but i'd been in a car that was laden with explosives and being brought into belfast and we were stopped by the british army and i thought time we had the explosives and the door plus a car. and went in the door for me and i sitting on i can manage and i got in the car because i'm going to mimic he i think he was more interested in looking at my legs than he was with the car. most of the time the ira called in warnings.

that the ira say was economic terrorism building not bodies. under their own rules killing civilians was wrong. but planning car bombs is not an exact science. and when the ira messed up people lots of people die. on the afternoon of the twenty first of july one thousand nine hundred seventy two the ira planted twenty two car bombs in the center of belfast. all the time to go off within minutes of each other. bloody friday was the world's first mass car bomb attack. the ira phoned in warnings but one bomb prematurely exploded in oxford street bus station. killing six

passengers. many others were horribly mutilated. are you ashamed of what happened and bloody friday. was a terrible terrible day there's no way that the security forces could have cleared because it's the spring for everyone. but the slaughter on bloody friday did not stop the ira. the bombing campaign accelerated. in one nine hundred seventy two there were one thousand three hundred eighty two explosions. the ira leadership was now ready to bring the car bomb on to the streets of london. it was our job to go and pick the targets and plan the operation. on march the eighth one thousand nine hundred seventy three the ira attacked lined

for the first time and planted for. nineteen year old marian price was leader of the bomb team we went along on the morning that the bombs went off the driver on the person he was the time they got up at six in the morning they goofed the problems to their targets and it was by the time the bombs week wolf that afternoon at three o'clock. leave it on. marion chose for spectacular targets including the old bailey courthouse. but the most prestigious target was new scotland yard. peter gurney a bomb disposal officer was on duty that day. and i thought of for call. and the number placed on the call did not relate to that particular vehicle the law could be in time but with so we decided that what we would do we would go into the

booth through the rear seats were entered in you could see that it was packed with exposure of. clothes one hundred eighty pounds of exposure for the poor who was moving forward from exposure if we don't the initiator we had no idea how long the water on the cloth what we just decided to do with the take the explosive away from the bomb on the flight we're putting by are destroyed pound bags are exposed you have to put them on the other saw the road or the bomb went off with us to go through. the group really know how to be evacuated on new faces. or the windows working those were what was the significance of this bomb these were the first call bomb used in. two bombs did explode. the irish war was now on the streets of london. marion spent the next decade in prison but over the next twenty five years the ira would explode thousands of car

bombs. just one bomb could destroy a small town or blast the heart of a key financial center like the city of london. bomb disposal officer might call grid was called out to diffuse the biggest ira bomb of all. round about ten twenty seven saturday morning. tremendous blast of the truck up there in bishopsgate about three and a half thousand kilograms i exploded. so in a blast wave that ripped all. windows out of the whole area. the ira deliberately planted the bishopsgate bomb on a saturday morning knowing that most of those city offices would be empty. it was economic terrorism. shoreditch bishopsgate with around about one billion pounds. imagine twenty times the amount of devastation in

city centers around the united kingdom. the ira never won their war in ireland but the british lost their ears on the streets of the city of london. did you think this was going to change the politics of northern ireland when this bomb went off oh no doubt about it and i shoulder devastation and realise what a launch those bonds were ushered in eighteen months we'll be talking peace. at the height of the troubles the ira churned out car bombs as if on a production line. but you don't need a secret army to launch a car bomb attack. even the smallest terrorist cell can make a one off fertilizer bomb. in one nine hundred ninety three the same year as bishopsgate car bombers would return to america and strike again at new york's financial

district. the target was the world trade center. on friday feb nineteenth a massive explosion ripped through the underground parking garage of the north tower. david williams was the chief f.b.i. investigator. were we walked into the trade center it was kind of like walking into a cave. to hear people screaming in the background rescue workers basically you had a crater that was five stories to. the one nine hundred ninety three world

trade center bombing was the first major terrorist attack on american soil since the one nine hundred twenty s. on wall street. f.b.i. was in charge but local police forces like the new york city bomb squad were part of the team. don saddam was sent into the bomb crater on sunday afternoon forty eight hours after the blast to help a forensic chemist team take samples. but then saddam we spotted a strange metal fragment crumpled and twisted by the power of the explosion. what was unusual was the damage it was so ripped into was that i've been to scenes in organized crime where people were killed with car bombs and completely possible car up but i've never seen the undercarriage blown out into pieces as as i was looking at there so i knew that this had to be either right next to work possibly the vehicle that would bring such a large vehicle bomb in here and i took my clothes off and as i ran my thumb and

saw i could feel it like any cripple it was a star shape letters letters numbers numbers numbers and then this ended in a starship and i knew that this was a confidential than a book. confidential vehicle identification numbers are inscribed on different parts of a car by the manufacturer to help police identify stolen vehicles. at that point i made it to c. and i said to the team we have to take these places out of here i know it's against orders and i see gone and you know carrying a stretcher up i don't think that's a good closer i see that they had a piece of metal on the stretcher i started to raise hell because they were moving evidence before we up and running with a level of control center but soon forensic teams confirm said always hunch. it was now just fifty hours from the time of the explosion and the hype for the bomb van

and the bombers was rolling. and that led to a break in the case that was obviously a great great great case because we were able to trace the number back as before khan a line family owned by writer rental agency and traced that particular van deters the city were it was last really good individual by the name of muhammad solomon. salomé was part of a small cell of islamic terrorists incensed by america's support for israel. the attack on the world trade center was their declaration of war. salomé was arrested. the trail led to a storage facility packed with bomb making equipment. but the real master my a bomb maker ramzi yousef had fled to pakistan on the night of the world trade center bombing. ramzi yosef was basically the lead explosive instructor. in

afghanistan teaching other folks could be teachers of builders of bomb. and you could certainly see a bomb or signature between the roof and the ninety three crates in a. solemn maze amateurish attempt to reclaim his cash deposit would end in a record two hundred forty year jail term. but there was nothing funny about useless plan for the twin towers. the bomb van was deliberately parked near one of the towers key structural supports. his aim was to bring down both towers. if we got a good blow by sunday night two days after the bombing the slurry foundation would have failed it would have allowed some of the hudson river and cause our want to collapse most likely into power to causing it to collapse. ramzi

yousef was finally captured in pakistan two years later and extradited back to the united states. he was taken by helicopter to the southern district of net app for arraignment and as the helicopter flew by the twin towers one of the agents point at the towers and says they're still standing. grandiose of takes a glance it looks back stoically it says more money and more time and they would not be and he was pretty correct. good is why again in one nine hundred twenty. users truck in one thousand nine hundred three. a car bomb was back on american soil in every major government building was now a target. when i first came to washington to pull up for the white house and take pictures the intent of the capitol was to make it an open place that americans

could calm walk around drive around it's all gone now it mean this is a city under siege. it's thanks to the core of the. naive lee i always thought the threat would come from overseas never from the heartland of america itself and in oklahoma the dream of the car turned nightmare. on the morning of the nineteenth of april one thousand nine hundred ninety five a p. murrah federal building in oklahoma city in the midwest was destroyed in an explosion. the massive bomb killed one hundred sixty eight mostly government office workers and shocked america. this was born in the usa terrorism. on the orders of president clinton dave williams was again scientists chief

investigator. oklahoma city there an effect on you absolutely. some of the things that i saw in the y.m.c.a. which is cross the street from the nardelli and it was blood spatter and there were little children handprints in the water it was a children's day care center and there was blood everywhere and chocolate milk and cookies with teddy bears who were fingers in the ear. and that's terrorism when you come right down to it. so then that first hour my swag my scientific while asked yes was that four thousand pounds of band was used very simple combination of ammonium nitrate fertilizer and diesel fuel but one of the good breaks was that within minutes jim

norman who was an f.b.i. agent pontac in oklahoma city heard the blast saw the blast got his car and drove down and as he's running up to the mer barely hear someone calling his name and it turns out to be a fireman and he shows him a rear axle with a differential housing and says this looks like it was probably part of the vehicle bomb struck a fortune also on that differential housing is a matrix number which identifies that make model year and owner of that vehicle turns out it was another ryder truck and was rented out of junction city kansas by a fellow with the name of robert cloying. playing turned out to be an alias but f.b.i. agents obtained a detailed photo fit and appealed for information on t.v. . and we got a call from the dreamland motel in kansas who said they stayed here. by cross

referencing. calls made from the room and criminal records the f.b.i. raible to a dentist by a key suspect. we get a hit on they and perry county oklahoma about eighty five miles north of oklahoma city and he was in jail and of course we're going to call the jail if he's still there and it was so funny that the individual that answer the phone there said yeah we have a kid with a weekday here and walking by going for his bail hearing please hold on to. they was arrested just two hours after the bombing as he made his get away it was a routine traffic offense. he was stopped by a state trooper charlie hanger for not displaying a valid license plate he was carrying a concealed weapon. that mcveigh was

a right wing militia fanatic who thought the us federal government were tyrants. it was a cold misplaced rage by one man. but with a rented truck and some cheap ammonium fertilizer they would bomb oklahoma with the same power as an f. sixteen fighter bomber. in two thousand and one mcveigh was executed by the federal government. still at eight hundred dollars there is no end to other potential timothy mcveigh. but the next attack by a vehicle borne improvised explosive device which shaped the world.

the nine eleven hijackers turned civilian aircraft into bombs jet. by crashing them into the twin towers. it was truly a vehicle for an improvised explosive device a plane. after nine eleven the united states invaded iraq and afghanistan. but in these new wars the car bomb became the key tactical battlefield weapon. militarily the us invasion of iraq was a perfect blitzkrieg. in just three weeks that allied force of three hundred thousand defeated an army of a half a million seizing a country the size of california for the loss of just one hundred thirty nine men.

but this stunning victory turn once coalition forces occupied iraqi cities. the car became king of the road. former u.s. marine colonel thomas paine's served in iraq and is a leading military analyst. what if the car bomb i mean for iraq. i think the car bomb changed the basic tactical situation in iraq successful counterinsurgency is based on being among the people close to them when you start bombing and you start to withdraw both government forces the police in iraq and u.s. forces in behind bomb barriers you come for communication the people the car bomb separated the government from the people and at the same time inflict casualties so it was the other big piece of an insurgency and either it's convincing american people we're losing car bomb can't be stopped time to get out. insurgents use car

bombs against any target the u.n. religious shrines police stations and street markets. the blast of the car bomb turned blitzkrieg to defeat. to counter the car bomb the u.s. military has established giant o. joint improvised explosive device defeat organization. with an annual budget of four billion dollars. most of gyros work is top secret advanced electronic countermeasures to jam remotely detonated bombs. but some of it is just good old fashioned intelligence. will we defeat the car but i don't think you can ever say that a car is a commercial entity you go buy a car and then if you want to go get some fertilizer if you've got a few stray rounds of one five five shells such

a file and i mean just suddenly you can make a car bomb and so it's not something that you're ever going to be able to eliminate from the battlefield because the components are all there. across the world governments are hardening their buildings putting up bomb barriers defenses against suicide truck bomber. downing street in the white house are turning into fortresses . the car bomb is it the greatest terrorist weapon it is in my opinion a car bomb is it wreaks care and everyone any kruk any car any vehicle that tries by could be a legal vehicle. i could only see getting more enhanced planning chemical biological or nuclear material well yes a vehicle bomb is probably the most devastating most impact a terrorist could have an indiscriminate killing how do we stop it i don't believe

we can. there is one sure way we could defeat the car bomb. we could walk. but we won't and we can't. the car is as basic a tool of our civilization as a knife. a car is no longer a dream of freedom it's our necessity. but as long as there are cars there will be car bombs. truly a car bomb and it's make your own simplicity and it's perfect invisibility is and will be the decisive weapon of conflict.

if. we hear it because of our apache outs that. god promised them this milind belongs to our. will if they are still going to be thinking. of gold chosen people will not believe that god is real estate agent say look at this that this is for you guys of this god this is for you. this is.
