The cache consisted of a rocket-propelled-grenade launcher, four RPG rounds, one sniper rifle, three hand grenades, seven AK-47 assault rifles, several rounds of 7.62 mm ammunition and eight AK-47 magazines. The detainees were taken to the Iraqi army compound in Khan Bani Saad for further questioning.
