Tip leads Iraqi National Police to cache

Multi-National Division – Baghdad

FORWARD OPERATING BASE LOYALTY, Iraq – Based off a tip from a concerned citizen, officers with the 1st Battalion, 4th Brigade, 1st Iraqi National Police Division recovered a cache in the courtyard and surrounding areas of the al Mustafa mosque in the Mualameen neighborhood of eastern Baghdad Nov. 1.
 
The cache included two explosively-formed penetrators, eight rocket-propelled grenades, three rocket-propelled grenade launchers, seven rocket-propelled grenade motors, three rockets, 14 mortars, one sniper rifle with a scope and a 10-round magazine. A spool of wire, body armor and old Iraqi Army uniforms were also recovered.
 
This is the fourth cache found in less than two weeks by Iraqi Security Forces.
 
“Residents are concerned about their neighborhoods and are taking a greater interest with the help of increased security by Iraqi Police and Iraqi Army Soldiers. Protecting their livelihood and family is of utmost importance to them and the ISF. Every tip from local residents is a small victory,” said Col. Jeffrey Bannister, the commander for the 2nd Infantry Brigade Combat Team, 2nd Infantry Division.
 
The discovery comes as U.S. and Iraqi forces continue to sweep out insurgent strongholds in eastern Baghdad. This includes setting up combat outposts and Joint Security Stations as part of the Baghdad Security Plan.
