The proxy bomb (also known as a human bomb) was a tactic used by the Provisional Irish Republican Army (IRA) for a short time in the early 1990s, whereby members of the British security forces or British Army employees were forced to drive car bombs into British military targets, after taking their families as hostages. It has also been used in Colombia by FARC rebels. The tactic has been compared to a suicide bomb, although each bomber in these cases is coerced rather than being a volunteer.
