Lacking any military background...
I don't recall ever hearing of "IED" as a military term.  This sounds
suspiciously like "UXB", which supposedly *was* a term for "unexploded
bomb".  I faintly recall a show imported from England by that name,
which was about bomb squads searching for german rocket bombs that had
landed in London without exploding.
