	Car bomb - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Car bomb in Iraq, made from a number of concealed artillery shells in the back of a pickup truck.

		Car bombs have been used by terrorist groups for many years — the IRA used them frequently in The Troubles in Northern Ireland and Great Britain — but mass casualty car bombing, and especially suicide car bombing, is principally a Middle Eastern phenomenon.

		While there have been innumerable instances where such caution is not applied and many battles in which civilians were caught in the crossfire, the recent car bombings represent the first instance in which a guerrilla campaign has generated this level of civilian casualties.
