Matthew Borghese - All Headline News Staff Writer
Baghdad, Iraq (AHN) - Military officials are disclosing the discovery of "multiple weapons caches" in Iraq by security forces; including one found as the result of a tip from a civilian.
As yet another tip brings Coalition forces closer to terrorists, officers from Iraq's 2nd National Police Division raided the al Sadrain Mosque in Baghdad to locate a suspected terrorist cell leader, supposedly using the holy site as cover.
The raid led to the capture of 20 suspected terrorists, without a shot being fired, or any injuries reported.
According to Coalition authorities, as terrorists tried to place a bomb near Yusufiyah, the device went off, killing one and wounding two others.
As Iraqi army soldiers from 4th Battalion, 4th Brigade, 6th Iraqi Army Division, began to investigate the blast, they located and detained 4 terrorists at a sheik's house.
In a search of the house, soldiers from the Multinational Division Baghdad, Company D, 1st Battalion, 506th Infantry Regiment, found a weapons cache "consisting of rocket-propelled-grenade launchers, anti-personnel mines, rocket-propelled-grenade rounds, 60 mm mortar rounds, and .50 caliber rounds."
Furthermore, according to the Pentagon, a patrol from 1st Battalion, 22nd Infantry Regiment, 1st Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division, discovered another cache west of Baghdad over the weekend. The cache consisted of "rocket-propelled-grenade rounds, five rocket-propelled-grenade motors, homemade grenades, 7.62 mm rounds, canisters of fuses, and other rounds."
In a second patrol, the battalion found "a second ammunition cache, which consisted of loaded rifle magazines and 7.62 mm rounds."
