Tip leads to anti-aircraft gun, ammunition in Jurf
Multi-National Division Center PAO
BAGHDAD A tip led Multi-National Division Center Soldiers to a cache containing an anti-aircraft gun and over a hundred 37 mm rounds April 27 in the al-Hujierr area of Jurf as Sakhr, 40 kilometers south of Baghdad.
Soldiers from 7th Infantry Regiment, 4th Brigade Combat Team, 3rd Infantry Division, used intelligence gathered from Sons of Iraq to locate the cache. At the site the unit was assisted by a local resident who had an excavator to help them dig. The unit later compensated the resident for his help.
After digging approximately 10 feet, the anti-aircraft gun and crate of munitions were visible.
We couldnt have done this without the hard work of the Soldiers who dug up the cache all day and the SoI who reported it, said 1st Lt. Ryan Daly, Company A.
The anti-aircraft gun is considered to be in operable condition and is believed to have been buried approximately four to six months according to informants.
The cache was transported to Patrol Base Jurf and was disposed of by an explosive ordnance disposal team.
