BAGHDAD – Coalition forces and Iraqi army soldiers found two large weapon caches containing 361 60 mm mortars, 34 82 mm mortars and 45 rocket-propelled grenade motors in the area of Babahani, Iraq, Feb. 12.
Soldiers from Military Transition Team 842, 3rd Battalion, 7th Infantry Regiment, 4th Brigade Combat Team, 3rd Infantry Division, and 2nd Battalion, 4th Brigade, 8th Iraqi Army Division were looking for the caches based on intelligence received by the Iraqi brigade.
“The Iraqi army has matured into a tough, dedicated and competent force; and is more than capable of conducting independent operations on par with their American counterparts,” said Capt. Alex Vershinin, from New Albany, Ohio, MiTT 842.
An explosive ordnance disposal team disposed of the caches with a controlled detonation.
Is that close to Babablakship?
Not sure but sounds like something you would find in the south. Chip, chip, a little at a time.
