Largest weapons cache ever found in Afghanistan
2003-04-18
ROMANIAN soldiers have uncovered thousands of rockets and more than a million rounds of ammunition in the largest weapons cache ever discovered by US-led coalition forces in Afghanistan. During Operation Carpathian Lightning near Qalat, capital of southern Zabul province, the 812th Romanian infantry uncovered three caches and two caves full of weapons, US Colonel Roger King told reporters at the base 50km north of Kabul. The arms cache unearthed yesterday included 3000 107mm rockets, 250,000 rounds of 12.7mm machinegun ammunition, about one million rounds of small arms ammunition and other ammunition and mines, "making it the largest cache found to date by the coalition forces in Afghanistan", he said.
These goobers are reputed to have laws against idolatry, but they sure seem to worship explosives.

#1  This sounds like enough to ruin somebody's day (or is Afghanistan so full of munitions that nobody will notice?). Be interesting to know who these belonged to.
