EFP's Made From Common Items In Middle East

    From The First Post we learn that just about anyone can make an EFP from common items found all over the middle east, not just in Iran.

   EFP's are what the Bush hounds are claiming the Iranians are supplying the Iraqi militia's with to kill the American troops with.

The improvised EFPs used as roadside bombs in Iraq most certainly don't need to have Iranian-manufactured components. All you need (so I am informed by Pierre Sprey, a former weapons designer with the A-10 and F-16 planes on his CV) is the copper bowl (a hand-beaten one like they sell to tourists all over the Middle East is fine), a 6" to 9"-diameter sewer pipe or oil pipe (the oil pipe is excellent quality steel), a few pounds of explosive and a fuse. The 380 tons of US RDX explosive that went missing due to lax security would be ultra-high quality stuff for the job.

The people doing almost all the killing of American troops in Iraq are not Shia but Sunni, therefore unlikely to have been supplied by Iran.
