US Army and Iraqi Forces Seize Weapons Caches and Detain Suspects

US soldiers from the 25th Infantry Division’s Company C, 1st Battalion, 14th Infantry Regiment, along with Iraqi soldiers, seized a cache of weapons north of Baghdad. The cache included 90 mm projectiles, 122 mm projectiles, a 120 mm mortar, powdered aluminum, explosives, sulfur, washing machine timers, batteries, radios, an assortment of insulated wires, and red detonator cord. Within an hour of that seizure, an Iraqi citizen tipped off elements of the US Army’s 101st Airborne Division’s 1st Battalion, 502nd Infantry Regiment and Iraqi troops of another cache. The citizen led the soldiers to a house in Kadhamiyah. There were an AK47 rifle and ammo, loose 7.62 mm rounds, binoculars, an Iraqi Army flak vest, grenades and fuses, radios with chargers, and a rocket propelled grenade (RPG) launcher. In other operations, a combined patrol of Iraqi Army soldiers and members of the Iraqi national police detained three suspected criminals. This took place in Baghdad’s Saydiyah community. Iraqi national police also found a munitions cache in an abandoned house in the Risalah community of Baghdad. This included a 57 mm warhead, mortar fuses, blocks of plastic explosives, a rocket fuse, and grenade fuses.
