A IED (improvised explosive device) is a handmade explosive built out of almost anything the engineer working on the IED can get his hands on this can range from: home-made explosives,collected explosives,shrapnel and also biochemical weaponry (harmful chemicals) used in the explosive packages named (IED).

Normally a IED consists of five things which are:
a detonator or as a nickname (dead mans switch).
a fuse to make bomb ignite.
a power source for bomb and ignition on the dead mans switch.
and finally a container to conceal bombs contents/package.

normally there are also three types/classification of IED'S which are:
a package IED.
a vehicle born IED. (VBIED'S)
and suicide bombs/IED'S

many of these methods have killed several people in war and conflicts, on averadge every bomb disposal expert in Afghanistan defuses over 800 bombs before they are killed by a IED whuch are still a rising threat in Afghanistan and other conflict zones.

I hope this has answered your question.
