Background - The IED
Marketplace in Iraq “[…]The insurgents try to discover why and at what times American patrols
travel along specific routes. Insurgents have even used hoax IEDs placed in
plain view so they can watch the American response and gather intelligence on
security methods and bomb disposal team operations to prepare for future
attacks. IED target selection is done with the intent of maximizing
casualties and media exposure. […] “The target site must also have multiple escape routes. The components
are then assembled at a well-concealed bomb factory and then moved from any
area likely to be searched by American patrols to a holding area until the
weapon is placed.” Excerpt of an article of “Defense News”
from August 3rd, 2005. |

September of 2006 and shows an IED attack against a U.S. humvee in Iraq. The

might not be correct, as the U.S. military did not report any casualties from
an IED attack on that day. |
