Improvised Explosive devices have already caused Pakistan a lot of damage and if its production is not stopped soon, Pakistan would collapse in the coming years.
EU will be providing Pakistan with 10 robots and 10 vehicles to help Pakistan in combating the improvised explosive driven terrorist attacks.
Good move by EU. Hopefuly, Pakistan would use the gadgets efficiently and the use of improvised explosives devices would come to a halt.
Pakistan can never be safe unless Government does not come up with a clear cut strategy of combating improvised explosive devices.
