vehicle-borne improvised explosive device (VBIED)

A vehicle-borne improvised explosive device (VBIED) is a bomb hidden inside a vehicle, such as a car or truck, designed to cause destruction, injury, or death when detonated. Perpetrators often use these devices to target specific locations like buildings or crowded areas, aiming for maximum impact. VBIEDs are typically packed with explosives and can be remotely detonated or triggered by the attacker. They are a common tactic in asymmetric warfare and terrorism because they can be mobile, making them harder to detect and defend against compared to static threats.
