The soldiers also located and confiscated five AK-47 assault rifles, one H & K automatic weapon, one SKS automatic weapon, 200 rounds of AK-47 ammunition and nine AK-47 full ammunition magazines. The chief was detained for further questioning. During the evening of Jan. 24, Task Force Ironhorse soldiers raided a building in Mukayshifa in search of a reported grenade cache. The soldiers located and confiscated 220 hand grenades without incident. No one was detained. |

| #3 I was wondering yesterday where one went to get authorization to keep hand grenades in his home. Now I know-- the chief of cops. He'll even make you a great deal if you buy a dozen or more. |

| #2 the problem is that a bunch of Iraqis who'd disagree with this finding are dead. Sammy killed 'em. |
