Note: A while back, I read about weapons recovered at a fish farm. Today, it’s water storage tanks.
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “The IPs recovered the cache buried in 11 water storage tanks and various boxes May 20 in Husayniyah.”

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
RELEASE No. 20080602-09
June 2, 2008
ISF, Coalition forces destroy ton of weapons (Karbala)
Multi-National Division – Center PAO
FORWARD OPERATING BASE KALSU, Iraq – Iraqi Security Forces and Coalition forces destroyed a large weapons cache containing approximately 2,400 pounds of munitions May 28 in Karbala province.
The cache was discovered by a former mayor of Husayniyah, who alerted the Karbala Iraqi Police.
The IPs recovered the cache buried in 11 water storage tanks and various boxes May 20 in Husayniyah.
“It is encouraging to see the (Iraqi Army) and IP finding and recovering these large caches, and we will continue to assist them in the safe destruction of ordnance,” said 1st Lt. Ryan Fisher, 760th Explosive Ordnance Disposal operations officer.
The cache was turned over to the 33rd IA Brigade Military Transition Team to dispose of munitions and exploitable items. The team arrived on-site and inventoried ordnance prior to transporting the munitions to the disposal site.
“In our second cooperative effort with (Maj. Gen.) Ra’ad’s 33rd IA Brigade and Karbala IP, we disposed of nearly 1,500 ordnance items, after having destroyed more than 1,000 items just earlier this month,” Fisher said.
The disposed munitions included more than 1,000 mortars, 25 rockets, 33 blocks of C-4 and various other weapons.

“Bombing near Danish embassy in Islamabad kills eight”
By BILL ROGGIOJune 2, 2008 1:58 PM
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “The bomber appears to have driven a car with diplomatic license plates through security, and parked it in a parking lot next to the Danish embassy. The car bomb was then either detonated remotely or by timer.”
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “The car bomb was believed to have contained about 65 pounds of explosives. The blast left a crater about four feet deep and nine feet wide, and damaged the wall of the Danish embassy as well as the offices of the United Nations Development Program.
All of those reported killed appear to be Pakistanis, however one report indicated a foreign national may have also been killed in the blast.
While no terror group has claimed responsibility for the attack, Pakistani intelligence believes Lashkar-i-Jhangvi, an al Qaeda and Taliban linked group, was behind the attack. Lashkar-i-Jhangvi is a splinter group of the Sipah-e-Sahaba (the Army of Mohamed’s companions), a radical Deobandi group that attacks the Shia minority in Pakistan. The US designated Lashkar-i-Jhangvi a Foreign Terrorist Organization in January 2003, while Pakistan banned the outfit in August 2001, just prior to the September 11 attacks on the US.
Lashkar-i-Jhangvi has been behind several high-profile attacks against foreigners in Pakistan. The groups was behind the kidnapping and brutal murder of Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl in 2003, and attack on a Pakistani Navy bus that killed 11 French technicians and three Pakistanis and a car bomb attack on the American consulate that killed 12 Pakistanis in 2002.”
