FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
TF OLYMPIA EOD DISARMS LARGE IED NEAR MOSUL
MOSUL, Iraq - Task Force Olympia contract security forces discovered a "daisy chain" of more than 10 live mortar and artillery rounds near Mosul on Saturday.
Numerous inert mortar and artillery shells were also found in the same area.
A contract security company working for Task Force Olympia in Mosul originally found a 155mm artillery shell and contacted an explosive ordnance disposal team. When EOD arrived on site, they discovered the chain of explosives.
EOD requested closure of the highway, Highway 1, a main thoroughfare between Baghdad and Mosul while they cleared the explosives.
Innocent Iraqi citizens are often killed or wounded by IEDs placed by insurgent forces along main highways.

Little late report from CENTCOM.
Potentially many US Soldiers' lives saved
- and it wasn't a headline in our own free press.
Bless our EOD guys, TF Olympia - our troops and allies, everywhere - ping!

Yeah, the news agencies are probably crying in their beers about the lost opportunity to show burned out Humvees and dead soldiers on the nightly news or the constant noise network.
