FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
WEAPONS CACHES SEIZED
CAMP BLUE DIAMOND, Iraq -- Elements from 1st Marine Division from the I Marine Expeditionary Force detained 17 suspected insurgents and seized several weapons caches today during operations throughout Al Anbar Province.
Among the weapons and munitions destroyed were rocket propelled grenades, small arms, rockets, mortars and material for assembling improvised explosive devices (IED).
The Marines, Soldiers and Sailors of the 1st Marine Division continue to reduce the anti-Iraqi forces' ability to launch attacks against Iraqi and Multi-National Forces and Iraqi civilians.
These findings are always good news. It means the terrorists have to merge....kinda like putting cattle into a corral. The bigger the corral...the better chance we have at nailing these bast****.
Iran and Syria will make up any lost weapons for the terrorists.
How many of the captured will be walking the streets within a month?
