Several Rounds of 7.62mm ammo Captured
COMBINED OPERATION YIELDS CACHE, DETAINEES KHAN BANI SAAD, Iraq Iraqi Army and Coalition Forces detained two suspected insurgents and captured a sizable cache Sept. 29 in a combined operation in Khan Bani Saad, Iraq, south of Baqubah. Soldiers with 2nd Battalion, 2nd Brigade, 5th Iraqi Army Division and 1-68 Combined Arms Battalion, 3rd Heavy Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division, made the find as part of ongoing operations in the town and surrounding villages. The cache consisted of one rocket propelled grenade launcher, four RPG rounds, one sniper rifle, three hand grenades, seven AK-47s, several rounds of 7.62mm ammo and eight AK-47 magazines. The two detainees and the caches contents were taken to the IA compound in Khan Bani Saad for further questioning and a controlled destruction of the cache. If this is a 'sizable' cache, then the bad guys are in trouble. In any event, these bad guys seem real short of some basic supplies. This successful find is part of an ongoing operation led by Iraqi Security Forces in Kahn Bani Saad to disrupt insurgents and their activities, demonstrate the determination and fortitude of the ISF in Diyala, and keep the community safe - allowing the safe return of displaced Iraqi civilians.
