Task Force Band of Brothers Soldiers seized a large cache of weapons, explosives, munitions and other improvised explosive device-making components during a raid in Mosul May 20.
Soldiers from the 172nd Stryker Brigade Combat Team conducted a cordon and search of a suspected vehicle-borne IED factory, where they found the large cache, which included 17 AK-47s, four rocket-propelled grenade launchers, nine submachine guns, four land mines, fifteen 60 mm mortar rounds, five hand grenades and two cases of ball bearings.
An explosive ordnance disposal team destroyed the cache in the basement of the building where it was found.
