The Pentagon says that more than 60 vehicle bombs have been
destroyed in airstrikes since the battle for Mosul began in October. The
Islamic State claims to have carried out 120 "martyrdom
operations," many utilizing vehicle-borne improvised explosive devices
(VBIEDs), during this same timeframe. However, some of these claimed suicide
bombings were likely neutralized before they could hit their intended
targets.
