Deadly developments: Explosively formed projectiles in Iraq

Article Abstract:

No attack in post-war Iraq is as lethal as the one carried out with explosively formed projectiles in spite of the fact that such attacks account for only one percent of roadside bombings. It was the collaboration between Lebanese Hizbullah and members of the Mahdi Army militia that was responsible for the introduction of this threat into Iraq.
