FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
RELEASE No. 20071001-02
October 1, 2007

Concerned local citizens turn in caches to Coalition Forces
Multi-National Division – Center PAO

PATROL BASE INCHON, Iraq — Concerned local citizens turned in two caches to Coalition Forces at Patrol Base Inchon Sept. 26.

Soldiers from Company D, 4th Battalion, 31st Infantry Regiment, 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 10th Mountain Division (Light Infantry) out of Fort Drum, N.Y., took the cache from the concerned citizens and inventoried the contents.

The first cache consisted of 13 bags of homemade explosives, which were tested positive for Styphnic Acid.

This follows a similar cache of 51 bags of HME that were turned in earlier in the day by concerned citizens to Soldiers of 4-31 Inf. Regt.

The second cache contained 28 projectiles and four 155mm artillery shells formed as improvised explosive devices, five rockets and a Raven unmanned aerial vehicle.

Coalition Forces took the serial number off the Raven to track it back to the unit and time in which it was lost in flight.

The caches were destroyed during several controlled detonations conducted by an explosive ordnance disposal team.
