CAMP VICTORY, Iraq – A local Iraqi gave information leading Iraqi army soldiers to a weapons cache in the Sharifat area, 12 miles south of Baghdad, May 18.
Soldiers with the 1st Battalion, 25th Brigade, 6th IA Division, uncovered the cache, which contained a 60 mm mortar tube with stand, 52 120 mm mortar rounds, 10 82 mm mortar rounds, 13 60 mm mortar rounds, two Iranian 60 mm mortar rounds, one unidentified rocket, one Russian SPG-9 rocket and more than 80 mortar primers and fuses.
The rounds, which were fused and primed, were mostly unserviceable as mortar rounds, but could be used as improvised explosive devices.
Explosive ordnance disposal personnel with the 3rd Brigade Combat Team, 101st Airborne Division, will examine the Iranian rounds.
