BAGHDAD: Iraqi soldiers uncovered a cache of Iranian-made rockets and armor-piercing roadside bombs Saturday in an apartment building occupied by Shiite militia members south of Baghdad, the U.S. military said.
The cache was found in one apartment and contained 17 bombs known as explosively formed penetrators, or EFPs, three Iranian-made 107 mm rockets and an assortment of rifles and Iraqi security force uniforms.
Col. Dominic Caraccilo, commander of the 3rd Brigade, 101st Airborne Division, said the rockets were marked with manufacture dates as recent as 2007, and were believed to have been brought into the country from Iran during a buildup of U.S. troops last year.
The U.S. military accuses Iran of arming and funding Shiite extremists in Iraq, although Tehran denies the charges.
"You can't say they were cached there for a number of years," Caraccilo said. "They were introduced to this country at some point during the surge."

This won’t trigger the battle with Iran. It will take Irsn massing on the border or firing some of their IRBMs at Israel.
Aim them toward Iran and “return” them
Oops, someone at AP will be getting their pink slip.
Does this mean you aren't bringing presents next trip home?
They grow lemons here.
Shall I bring some of those?
I feel I've exhausted the explosive capabilities of lemons.
Surprise me.
WELL..... were these hidden by Shiites or Sunnis???
Maybe McCain was on to something when he purportedly misspoke?
I think they need to be returned to Iran and detonated there.
It’s long past time for a retaliatory strike on an Iranian military facility for their support of Iraqi terrorists.
Gee, what were the odds?
French major paper : we have docs proving Iran is still seeking nukes
