TIKRIT, Iraq – The Iraqi Department of Border Enforcement discovered a large weapons cache in the eastern desert of Diyala Province April 11.

The cache contained more than 100 anti-personnel mines as well as anti-tank mines and a 155mm projectile.

It looks like they are finally stepping up to the plate. We can’t be there forever, they are going to have to take control of their country soon.
