improvised explosive devices  

Définition(s)

  • An improvised explosive device (IED) is a bomb manufactured in an unconventional way that incorporates destructive, lethal, noxious, pyrotechnic, or incendiary chemicals and is designed to destroy or incapacitate people, buildings, and vehicles, including aircraft and ships. Although such devices are much older, the term is believed to have originated in Northern Ireland, when it was used by the British Army after the Provisional Irish Republican Army (PIRA) manufactured and used bombs made from fertilizer and semtex smuggled from Libya.
