That is not true. Oklahoma City bombing is the first which comes to mind where the explosives was planted on a truck. But there are many others, there is a whole wikipedia list about them: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Car_and_truck_bombings_in_the_United_States https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Car_and_truck_bombi...

It's a form of terrorism that America accepts as routine as car accidents.
- krisoft 2y ago“stuck strictly” implies exlusivity. That and the “apart from the first WTC bombing” implies that the first WTC bombing was the only vehicular explosive in the USA. I agree terrorist in the USA use guns a lot more than vehicle-born explosives. If that is what you would have written i would have not commented anything.
