| 2006-02-07 |
| Multi-National Division – Baghdad Soldiers discovered a weapons cache Feb. 3, adding to a series of caches discovered in the past week. While conducting a combat patrol, the Soldiers with 1st Battalion, 22nd Infantry Regiment, 1st Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division, received a tip from an Iraqi citizen about the location of a possible weapons cache site. Responding to the tip, the unit searched the area and uncovered multiple weapons, munitions and explosives. An Explosive Ordnance Disposal team arrived at the site to assess the situation and conduct a controlled detonation to destroy the cache. The controlled detonation exposed a false floor beneath the original site, which yielded more weapons and munitions upon further investigation. EOD conducted a second controlled detonation of the explosives. After both detonations and a complete search of the area, the unit uncovered 21 120mm mortar rounds, two 160mm mortar rounds, six 155mm mortar rounds, one shape charge, six 122 mortar rounds, 20 rocket propelled grenades, one mortar base plate, 80 81mm mortar rounds, 50 2.5 rockets, 60 61mm mortar rounds and other bomb-making materials. |
