According to the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), a car bomb is an explosive device that is placed in a vehicle and detonated. The vehicle can be a car, truck, or other type of motorized conveyance. Car bombs are often used by terrorists and other groups to attack civilians and military personnel. They can also be used to destroy property or to disrupt transportation. The CIA has developed a number of resources to help prevent and mitigate the effects of car bombs, including intelligence-gathering, counterterrorism operations, and public awareness campaigns.
