TIKRIT, Iraq - In the midst of a reconnaissance patrol May 11, Iraqi Special Operations Soldiers from 12th Iraqi Army Division, with Coalition forces advisors, recovered a weapons cache in western Kirkuk and detained two men within the vicinity.
.
The detained men were found over watching the cache area and owned the property in which the weapons were buried. They were detained for further investigation.
.
The cache included several dozen rocket propelled grenades, 75 anti-tank rounds and 1,000 rounds of small-arms ammunition.
.
“The local knowledge of the discovery and detentions will likely create doubt within anti-Iraqi networks,” said the ground forces commander. “The destruction of this cache will disrupt enemy attacks and eliminate bomb-making supplies in the near term.”
