IED is an acronym for Improvised Explosive Device. It is not a weapon per se, it is a class of explosive devices that are used generally as mines. Depending on the area, availability of materials and the primary target(s) this can be anything from the proverbial 'pipe bomb' to one or more 155 mm howitzer shells which have been re-fuzed to detonate on command, and of course a whole slew of things in-between.
