FOB KALSU — Based on a tip, Coalition forces found a weapons cache containing (20) 100 mm guided Cobra missiles near Babbahhani, March 4.

Soldiers with Company B, 2nd Battalion, 502nd Infantry Regiment, currently attached to the 4th Brigade Combat Team, 3rd Infantry Division, made the discovery.

“We have to continue to take steps to create a better environment for the Iraqi people and Coalition forces,” said Sgt. 1st Class Xavier Perdue, from Philadelphia, 2nd Platoon sergeant.

The old and unserviceable missiles were disposed of by an explosive ordnance disposal team via controlled detonation.

Couldn't help it. I got distracted because it's just so much fun to say "Babbahhani."

Does that mean "happy daddy" in Arabic? Just curious. Does anyone know?
