The daily number of IED attacks has increased six-fold since 2003, the Pentagon says. The Pentagon has sought to recover via a crash program _ the Joint Improvised Explosive Device Defeat Organization, or JIEDDO _ that by next year is expected to have spent some $13 billion on detectors and robots to defuse bombs, vehicle armor, training and other means to "defeat" the homemade weapons.
