Car bomb the deadliest weapon of the 21st century

In his startling film Car Bomb, ex-CIA agent Robert Baer uncovers the history of this extraordinary weapon for the first time. Starting, perhaps surprisingly, at 12:01 p.m. on September 16, 1920 outside the J.P. Morgan bank on Wall Street, where a horse-drawn wagon laden with dynamite was detonated killing 38 people and injuring 143 more, Baer reveals how the century of the car turned into the century of the car bomb, with shocking footage of attacks and penetrating interviews with car bombers.
