Concerned Local Citizens Group Turns in Large Weapons Cache

FORWARD OPERATING BASE KALSU

A Concerned Local Citizens (CLC) group found a large weapons cache in Arab Jabour, Nov. 12.

The cache was so large that three controlled detonations were needed to destroy it.

A CLC reported a buried weapons cache to Company A, 1st Battalion, 30th Infantry Regiment, 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 3rd Infantry Division. The CLC led Company A Soldiers to the location of the cache where several barrels containing the munitions were buried.

The cache consisted of (24) 60mm rounds, (25) 82 mm mortar rounds, two 120 mm mortar rounds, three 122 mm projectiles, three rifle grenades, one 60 mm mortar tube, (20) bundles of propellant, (20) pounds of homemade explosives, (40) feet of detonation cord and an anti-tank mine.

After assessing the cache, an explosive ordnance disposal team was called to destroy it.

Throughout Iraq, the CLC groups have made a noticeable impact on the insurgency. The information they provide results in more weapons found and terrorists captured every day. These brave volunteers are taking a stand for the stability, safety and development of their country.

And to think we have never found any weapons of mass destruction!!!!! Sheesh!!!!! Would somebody please explain to the stupid Dems what mass destruction means?!?! I have seen other photos before of much larger caches discovered but apparently none of these qualify to be classified as being capable of causing mass destruction. Idiots!!!!!!!!!

IDEAOLOGY is a WMD... Hitler was a WMD... Stalin was a WMD... Communist heads of state are WMD's...Islamofascist hijackers that can operate hijacked planes are WMD's...~AA11~ ~UF175~ ~AA77~
and ~UF93~! SATAN and his demons and devils are WMD's... addictions to porno, x-rated movies, drugs and alcohol is destructive to mass populations and our youth's innocense!
