Aswat al-Iraq: Police forces arrested 19 wanted men and seized Grad rockets during a security operation in Basra province, according to a local security source. "Emergency police forces carried out a search raid in Shatt al-Arab district, eastern Basra, during which they arrested 19 men on criminal charges, along with a suspect," the source told Aswat al-Iraq news agency. "Thirteen Grad rockets of 122 mm caliber were found during the operation," the source indicated.
I seem to recall that Grad rockets come from Iran. Am I right?

#2  Grad are Russian multiply launched rockets. They sell them to all comers, so likely they came from Iran, Syria, or Sammy's old stocks.
