    BAGHDAD – Multi-National Division – Baghdad soldiers seized a munitions cache in the northwestern Baghdad neighborhood of Kadhamiyah March 12.

    Soldiers from the 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault), observed three men acting suspiciously while one of them talked on a phone near a palm grove. The three men then entered a four-door sedan and left the area quickly.

    The Soldiers investigated the area and located a cache consisting of four complete explosively formed penetrators and materials to make explosives.

    The cache also consisted of more than a dozen rolls of detonation cord, polyvinyl chloride casings, command wire, unknown bulk explosives, and an assortment of casings, liners, and back plates.

    An explosive ordnance disposal team destroyed the cache.
