The 1.1D lable is a primary explosive lable yet I see a few lids off and see empty containers. The white lable shown for just a second in the video appears to be a 6x toxin or poison lable. I couldn't get a good look at that.

The dress and mannerisms of the troops doing the search indicates to me the threat was low. The way they were going through the structures and the presence of presstitutes also tells me they were not an EOD team or combat engineers who'd know what they were looking at even if they could read the lables.

The type of containers and lables displayed on the exterior of those shown in the pics and video on the link above is common storage of materials such as bulk RDX or HMX.


The "sticks" in the wooden boxes appears to be a cast HE booster of some type. I have admit I can't tell what that is from the pics and video.

One important question I have asked around here relates to an incident early in the war where two army troops were guarding a munitions site and they were setting off the mortar "charge bags" and tossing them at each other in horseplay and either one or both died in an explosion ???

What site were they guarding ? I've searched for the story that was here on FR and can't locate it.
