#1 An explosive ordinance disposal team destroyed the caches on site.

I would hope that the term "destroyed on site" indicates the market value of the residence has declined substantially, but I doubt it.

#2 consisted of two 55-gallon drums of home-made explosives
Good to see they're having to roll their own as it were. Probably had to destroy this stuff on site - likely very unstable.

#3 In the second house, located approximately 150 meters east of the first house, a second cache was found, consisting of eight shape charges, a sniper rifle, five pressure plates, three rocket-propelled grenades, an acetylene tank and two grenades taped to a window.

More marks of Iran/Tehran, or are they able to produce in-country now?
