| [Aswat al-Iraq] An Iraqi army force seized eight explosive belts south of al-Amara city on Saturday, a military information source in the army's 10th Division said. "A force from the 10th Division seized eight explosive belts in the district of Bani Hashim, (45 km) southeast of al-Amara, based on intelligence tip-offs," the source told Aswat al-Iraq news agency. "The division's explosive experts defused the belts that were ready for using in terrorist operations in the province," the source added. He did not elaborate where or how these explosive belts were seized. |

| #1 Exactly how expensive is an explosive vest to procure? I am glad that the vests were found rather than used but nabbing the people behind the belts is much more important than the belts themselves. People can just make more belts. |
