BAGHDAD – A tip from an Iraqi citizen led Iraqi Army soldiers to a weapons cache in Mahmudiyah, April 1.
The cache included two complete explosively-formed projectiles, four rocket-propelled grenades, a 60 mm mortar tube, a 60 mm mortar round and small arms ammunition.
The contents of the cache have been turned over to Multi-National Division – Center Soldiers for destruction.
Criminals who once operated in the area no longer have the support of the population as Iraqi Security Forces build on their capacity to enforce the rule of law.
