  1. These terrorists need to be stopped. They have disrupted Pakistan’s peace through the use of improvised explosive devices.

  2. I heard EU will be providing Pakistan with latest gadgets to help us deal with the improvised explosive devices. I hope it’s true

  3. Terrorists strike again. Our government has clearly failed to come up with a solution to stop it and the use of improvised explosive devices.

  4. Improvised explosive devices are lethal because they cannot be detected. Good move by EU to provide Pakistan with 10 robots and 10 vehicles that would help the bomb disposal squads in spotting the deadly IEDs.
