a major overhaul of the country's law enforcement system starts with rebranding is those service strives to improve the strives to improve its reputation many question however whether the much trumpeted reforms will go beyond paper work and cosmetics. coming your way next our special report focusing on the car bomb the weapon that's become synonymous with terror. my name is bob baer. i used to be a cia agent stationed in the eleven on 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 to develop it and who killed. i've come back to the one city where car

bombs have forever shaped our history. beirut. i love pharaoh. it was a great place to be a spy. and then the embassy got hit. by a suicide car bomber. sixty three dead dead american dead lebanese six of my close colleagues friends in the cia were killed. carstens a vet saw the bomb go off and suddenly i saw this big bang this white start over the old embassy and then of course the bang and then when i looked up place and i run over and i saw it and destruction and chaos.

it was a stunning assault. one man with a car could wage war on 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 does. sins of bombs. christian car bombs palestinian car bombs muslim car bombs. and a long drawn out so we'll. let go of the guy and then i was the only accept who was this man to income bombs in lebanon. russia became too good at stopping car. and then his adversaries decided to target him. one day they left the bone the specially for me this is 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 two ton car. c.c.t.v. camera captured the vehicle this white truck. in the traffic. in a reraise black mercedes drew alongside the bomb went off. really was one of the world's richest man a billionaire. his mercedes was armor to the hilt the six. the best protection level there is. truly the root is the heart of the

modern car the car bombs we're seeing today interact and were developed on the streets suicide car bombs fell three police ten thousand to baghdad closing bell around twenty million and six police officers. to get into the war in iraq we saw dozens of love and it's crossing the border into syria. it was only a matter of time before a car bomb started on. a. car bombing might have become a lebanese national customs but the lebanese never created a 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 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. treasury. and of course the stock exchange with a big flag on it there same buildings that would have been here the 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 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 was

fairly sophisticated i mean whoever built this thing. 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 what did he want though i mean it was there anything that give us an idea what these guys wanted there was a lawyer found in a mailbox nearby two 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. and buddha 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 the 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 it was the first car and no of course it's not a car and it's sense but it was a way was invented right here wall street. what happened to. actually play 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 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. freedom fighters of israel were determined to drive arabs out by terror from wildlife he saw as their rightful jewish homeland. who started the first car bombing here in this. whose decision was that

the ratios that. 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 short cut to provoking 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. this guy says arabs a lot of people on team 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 from. the explosion that killed twenty eight including innocent passers by and injured

hundreds. less he did not have a monopoly on planning car bombs. the palestinians made plans to strike back using their own bomb maker. could train by the nazis during world war two. thousand a sister nigeria was close to him. she has never spoken about her brother before. she came to what sort of training did he get in germany you know it was called commando commander needs and he had yes he needs a clue that wireless devices i mean occasions and all types of explosives. six weeks after serai thousand targeted jewish stronghold ben yehuda street in the heart of jerusalem this insanity take me a hoot history will see in charge of the operation he was in charge he planned at

the beginning the middle and the end of the street. but you roussillon 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 only vote the two british two zero to see weren't any of the australia new who were quick to go once that where sarah started no matter yeah i can see the steam going and i've been there were not just so that there was a big in them bell cliff soldiers who were working with him. and they were against the british policy keith listening lie through people from then and there placed them with other people thank those american who a thousand used to plan missions with them and they used to carry it out see that home they never saw. 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 knew and that's a it's a few was the explosion eyelash they can. get up if the costs if it's going to be a skill that we wanted to distill case we were looking for the lost. the three thousand pound bombs tore through the surrounding buildings killing sixty. hina was not just an eyewitness she was also allegedly a member and had taken part in bombing operations let me ask you this question did the truck bomb make do with the resistance. made you angry or sure if newt gingrich was sunday leave when he was deep put to a columns it would kill civilians being killed under war against

those who kill it's in the. left he were the first terrorist group in the world to use car bombs but they would not be the last. verse the jews it's been the arabs. the world's first car bomb or. left. they planted four. and thousand planted four hundred twenty people die. the 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 of a car bomb as

a key assassination weapon well cooked up tried to blow up the jewish political leadership. what happened in this building here where he was the government of the jews and that. in this second floor here was the chump it was sunk in fact of the state of israel that he'd been going to ups wanted to keep and say believe that if they would kill him jews may not establish that state the special east of the arabs and focusing. on the explosion and the car was exploded here how many people were killed when seven people were killed and hunger. would have happened. if ben-gurion had this office the frame been going on with the. jews wouldn't establish

a state because he was only a i mean you still believe no but he was is you can say george washington george washington and you united states. sassi 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 vile noble. 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 to be trapped in 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 this 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 idea here. so we how do you know the mafia this year. because. the flu 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 an american mafia met in this lavish palermo hotel organize the world's heroin

trade. business did not run smooth. in one thousand 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 have a key mafia boss cesare month. to month hello was an ally of the greco. and the first mafioso to be assassinated with a car bomb. was blocking his drive and he needed to go beyond it to enter into the house the car was a key the same type 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 they had

a school girl why did they not when they killed your uncle used pistol instead of a car bomb 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 not forgetting 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 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 spanned 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 madison. 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 tear gas a 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 festus what was what was going on so anyone killed yes a young physicist by the name of robert foster not was killed in the initial blast . the f.b.i. team immediately focused their investigation on a car spotted fleeing 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 took you came up with the one armstrong agreed for the first time to return to the building and. talk about the night he's gone wisconsin. where did the idea come from the car bomb my brother why were like basically you

know we were considering ways to an army now research center am not bothered by its nose oh why don't we just fill up a truck full of explosives and just started off outside the building 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 morning nitric and fuel oil and then we transported it to our site which was a farmer's field and that basically we just put it on the ammonium nitrate and you know except by hand own only just pour it into the barrel. and you get the idea we didn't have the internet. you know basically the formula

that's in the encyclopedia britannica under was. also how much of the whole thing cost. two hundred dollars for the current. car all and it's 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 were injured. but i have no regrets for my motivations for doing it and doing it was the message and we were trying to send it on to a 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 muslim and. he served cheney years in prison. sad 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 that turning back to murder absolutely absolutely are pretty much 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 was like one hundred dollars stolen car fertilizer. so it was in a sense it was a turning point. basically a hundred dollars you can shake a country exactly. observed
