MOSUL, IRAQ (March 2, 2005) – Iraqi Security Forces and Multi-National Forces discovered two weapons and munitions caches during operations in northern Iraq yesterday.

Troops from the 107th Iraqi Army discovered a large weapons cache during a cordon and search operation south of Al Had. The cache included 170 mortar rounds, hundreds of rocket propelled grenade rounds, and hundreds of rounds of ammunition. The weapons and ammunition were confiscated for future destruction.

Multi-National Force Soldiers discovered a large cache that consisted of over 2,000 rounds of various ammunition during a cordon and search operation west of Mosul. The ammunition was confiscated for future destruction.

Iraqi Security Forces and Multi-National Forces continue operations to protect the rights of Iraqi citizens to live free of fear and intimidation from terrorists. The success of those operations has increased due to the information provided by Iraqi citizens helping Security Forces capture insurgents and seize weapons.

Anyone with information on anti-Iraqi insurgent minority activities should call the Joint Coordination Center’s telephone numbers at 513462 or 07701623300.
