IED. An improvised explosive device (in English Improvised Explosive Device, abbreviated IED) is a bomb made with unconventional materials, including through the use of conventional explosives.
IEDs can be of various sizes and shapes, and contain different quantities of explosives or other material intended to harm and / or cause damage; this makes it difficult to predict its power, which can even be much higher than an industrial anti-tank mine. The detonators can also vary; Attackers sometimes employ parts of military regulatory ordnance and may also use home-made activation systems - no less effective - such as remote controlled radio systems activated by a cell phone. In some cases, the IED is "worn" by the suicide bomber who detonates himself near the target.
