IA soldiers seize large weapons cache in Sadr City
Multi-National Division – Baghdad
BAGHDAD – An Iraqi citizen led Iraqi Army Soldiers to a weapons cache in the Sadr City district of Baghdad Aug. 4.
“We saved a lot of lives tonight,” said Maj. Gen. Muzer, commander of the 11th Iraqi Army Division. “We will never know how many, but this is something of which we can be proud.”
Iraqi Army Soldiers with the 3rd Battalion, 42nd Brigade, 11th Iraq Army Division, found the cache at approximately 7:30 p.m. The cache consisted of 28 107 mm Iranian rockets; one 107 mm Chinese rocket; seven 122 mm Russian rockets; 63 60 mm Iranian mortars; one 240 mm warhead; 25 Chinese fuses; 25 Iranian fuses; a propellant charge for a rocket propelled grenade; one 120 mm mortar tube; two Iranian 60 mm mortar tubes; one 81 mm mortar tube; eight 107 mm rocket launchers; eight mortar sights; improvised explosive device-making materials, and video tapes of attacks on Iraqi Security and Coalition forces.
The weapons cache consisted of new Iranian munitions with a manufacture date of early 2008. Both the 107 mm and 122 mm rocket types were used against the International Zone and civilian populace throughout Baghdad during late March and early May. There were approximately 1,100 rockets fired, resulting in 149 civilian casualties in that timeframe.
“This is a significant find not only because the IA has successfully eliminated a large cache of Iranian weapons, but also because this was entirely an Iraqi operation, supported by Iraqi citizens, deep in Sadr City where the IA operate independently of their U.S. advisors,” said Lt. Col. Steve Stover, public affairs officer for 4th Infantry Division and Multi National Division-Baghdad.

August 6th, 2008 at 10:44 amThe Axis of Weasels: Iran, Russia & China. Get us out of the GD UN and let’s make China & Russia pay for their support of Iran!

Nero will continue to fiddle if you ask my opinion. but only for a while longer.
August 6th, 2008 at 11:19 amtime to turn Iran into a parking lot?
August 6th, 2008 at 11:50 amThe American public at large doesn’t get we are fighting Iran in Iraq. They still think Iran is just making noise and the republicans are looking for an excuse to invade. Personally I think have have just cause and need to invade Iran and put it out of its and our misery. As much as I hate to say it.. we need another wake up call in this country. People have already hit the snooze button on 9/11.
