#7  How did they pack all of that into one truck? Someone must have seen a trail of land mines falling over the back and dropped a dime.

Short-haul from the Euphrates.

#1  from MNF-IRAQ:

FORWARD OPERATING BASE KALSU, Iraq – A local tip led Iraqi Security Forces to the largest explosively-formed penetrator cache found to date in Multi-National Division – Center’s area of operation, April 2.

The munitions were discovered in a 6-ton truck in a garage in al Qasim, Iraq.

The cache contained more than 1000 EFP components, more than 3000 pounds of explosives and multiple 107 mm rockets and stands. The cache also included more than 200 C-4 demolition charges, more than 10,000 feet of detonation cord, more than 2,000 projectile boosters, 10 devices used to detonate improvised explosive devices, 250 PKC rounds, and myriad land mines and mortar types.


That's some serious Iranian munitions. A 6-ton truck load of it. Hmmm.
