CAMP BLUE DIAMOND, Iraq (Army News Service, Nov. 29, 2005) -- Iraqi Army Soldiers and U.S. Marines, Soldiers and Sailors of the 2nd Marine Division, discovered 66 weapons caches during the past week in al Anbar province in western Iraq.
Blocks of plastic explosives, sticks of TNT, artillery and mortar rounds used in vehicle and roadside bombs along with remote detonators were found by Iraqi and U.S. Forces. Machine guns, assault and sniper rifles, rocket-propelled grenades and munitions were also discovered.
In Haqlaniyah, Sunday, Iraqi Soldiers and Marines excavated more than 8,800 heavy machine gun rounds along with 150 artillery, mortar and tank rounds. Information gained from local citizens indicated that the cache was buried approximately one month ago by three carloads of terrorists working through the night.
Yesterday near Habbaniyah, four complete mortar systems, including their aiming sites and instruction manuals, were found. At the same location, more than a dozen remote detonators for roadside bombs were also found. Thirteen men were detained at the site for further questioning.
Caches were found and destroyed from Fallujah to al Qa’im. Many of these weapons and explosive cache sites were located after receiving information from local citizens. Local citizens frequently speak to a passing patrol or by call local tips lines, while others cache sites are found during the course of clearing operations.

Stories of hidden weapons stores being unearthed are starting to snowball.
We WILL find the you-know-whats.
I`ll wait to see if this is reported on the local paper or on the nightly news......
Somehow I think it will be overlooked.
I bet the weapons were made in France.
...last year.
Very interesting. Moved from another location? Maybe, but more likely just coming in to country IMHO.
On an island in the Euphrates... In the desert in Western Iraq... all in a short period of time. That smells like some of the "insurgents" have become disillusioned, have realized they need to switch sides, and have snitched on their former insurgent comrades.
We'd be smart to play "divide and conquer" at this point. Divide the insurgents, especially the Iraqis from the non-Iraqis. Welcome home the Iraqis and obliterate the non-Iraqis.
Porter Goss isn't the only one who knows more than he is able to talk about.
If you know what I mean.
When we find the "You-Know-What's" the Anti-American, LEFIST scum, no matter who they are or think they are,should be required to parade past it one at a time just like we made the Germans parade by the crime in the Nazi Death Camps.
An excellent idea!
I know there'll be a big party at my house.
Don't they know where this stuff is coming from or at least where it is made?
Any tracing of the sources and routes to get into the country?
Pick any one of two ME Country Capitals in the news then start singing one the Road Song of Bing Crosby-Bob Hope doing, would be my guess.
I LOVE this finds.
Pick any one of two ME Country Capitals
Damascas and Tehran
But if that's so why can't we prove it and say it? That they are renegades providing the weapons to kill innocent Iraqis and the good guys.
How do you know it's not Riyadh and Paris?
How do you know it's not Riyadh and Paris?
Could be! Peking and Moscow too, I guess.
But do we know? Should we know?
would say it was a fake.
Agreed, sigh..............
