BAMYAN PROVINCE, Afghanistan — Members of Kiwi Team 2 of the New Zealand Provincial Reconstruction Team in Bamyan province, Afghanistan, destroyed a cache of weaponry, Feb. 28.
The cache, discovered in a small cave in a village, contained 26 rocket-propelled-grenade expelling carts, 25 RPG-7 rockets, 200 12.7 mm rounds, 400 9 mm rounds, and 1,400 7.62 mm short rounds.
Those who reported the weapons to coalition forces may receive a reward for their help in turning in the weapons. This is part of the Department of Defense Rewards Program on-going throughout Afghanistan.
There are community safety lines across Afghanistan for citizens to report criminal activities and weapons caches to potentially receive rewards.
Those with information concerning a weapons cache should call the provincial community safety call-in lines: Bamyan province: 079-925-3277, Parwan province: 079-825-9059.
Citizens in other provinces should contact their local Afghan national security forces directly for the number in their area.
