| US troops find armour-piercing bombs in Iraq |
| 2007-02-26 |
| US officers say troops in Iraq have found a huge haul of armour-piercing bombs of a kind which Tehran has allegedly smuggled to Shiite militias, hidden alongside Iranian mortar shells. US army Major Jeremy Siegrist said American soldiers discovered a workshop with enough components to build 150 "explosively formed penetrators" in a Shiite village 25 kilometres north of Baghdad. Earlier this month, a US military spokesman said EFPs were made in Iran and exported to Iraqi Shiite groups as bomb components to be assembled and used in attacks on US and Iraqi forces. But Major Siegrist was more cautious. "I don't think there's any way this can be tied to a government," he said. "I mean, we didn't recover the bill, so we may never know." |

| #6 Could someone define what "armor-piercing" means in the "bomb" sense? Are we talking hollow charges, or something with a solid penetrator? |

| #3 Great idea, 'moose. And, allow the profit to be given to the Iraqi people. A two-for-one win-win type situation. |

| #2 Hopefully, instead of blowing them up, they make their way to Baluchistan. |
