This release was so similar to one from two days ago I had to read them side-by-side to make sure it was actually another event. I can't tell whose cache(s) they found. I also wonder if both raids were part of a roll-back of a significant intelligence capture recently (there were several.)
BAGHDAD, Iraq – Soldiers from the 3rd Brigade, 6th Iraqi Army Division and Multi-National Division – Baghdad’s 2nd Battalion, 22nd Infantry Regiment, located a large weapons cache and detained five suspected terrorists May 12 in northwest Baghdad.
The cache included 155 12 mm mortar rounds, 97 60 mm mortar rounds, 96 sticks of PE-4 explosives, 40 blasting caps, 20 rocket-propelled grenades, seven RPG launchers, two 120 mm mortar systems, two 82 mm mortar systems, two 60 mm mortar systems, nine cell phones, three long-range control transmitters and a charging base for the transmitters. An Explosive Ordnance Disposal team destroyed the munitions. |
