Invented in the USA - The Car Bomb

The deadliest weapon of the 21st Century

Forget about nuclear missiles, the decisive weapon of the 21st century is the car bomb. All you need is a battered old car, a couple of hundred pounds worth of homemade explosives and you can attack a superpower, start a civil war or just blow up your own government.

When people think of car bombs, they think of insurgents, splinter groups, the Middle East. But surprisingly, the car bomb was invented in America.
