Omar at Iraq the Model (scroll down a few posts) notes Iran is supplying an increasingly marginalized insurgency in Iraq with updates on the traditional IED (improvised explosive device). These newer IEDs include "flying" and "sticky."
"Sticky" in this context means magnetically attached, as to cars, with remote detonation. They're seen as more efficient since a lone person can attach one, whereas traditional IED emplacement requires teams.
And people wonder why everyone's yelling at Iran?
Omar: "Whether you're looking for 2,000km rockets, 150 meter flying IEDs, or palm-sized sticky IEDs...Iran is the one-stop-shop for all sorts of terrorist gear."
