Much of CAR’s research has concerned Iraq, studies have taken place on the ground in Iraq in order to address the threat of IEDs in the country, particularly from those used by ISIS. Over the last year, CAR have produced three different pieces of research into ISIS’s IED use in Iraq.
These include: ‘Turkish Fertilisers Used in Islamic State IEDs in Iraq’, ‘Inside Islamic State’s Improvised Weapon Factories in Fallujah’, and a 20-month investigation in Iraq and Syria, ‘Tracing the Supply of Components Used in Islamic State IEDs’.
