If you're looking for something to read....
It's kinda long, but I just found this fascinating, Mike Davis on the History of the Car Bomb. (Part 2 here.)
It starts with the first "carriage bomb" on Wall St., passes through Palestine, the IRA, CIA and others use in Lebanon, the '93 WTC attack, on into Iraq. With descriptions of uses, technological advances, and comparisons as the "poor man's air force" to major power's air strikes, I found it quite thought provoking.
