The Myth of the Remote-Controlled Car Bomb

The Myth of the Remote-Controlled Car Bomb

Two weeks ago, I published an in-depth report with European Eye on Radicalization, in which I examined the who’s and what’s of Remote-Controlled Vehicle-Borne Improvised Explosive Device (RC-VBIED) use. In the report, I compare and contrast the use of such devices by a variety of non-state actors in Syria, including the Islamic State, Jabhat al-Nusra (now Hayat Tahrir al-Sham), Ahrar al-Sham, and FSA units – in order to come to the conclusion of why some groups use or don’t use remote-controlled car bombs.

The report can be read in its entirety by following this link.
