DIYALA, Iraq – Iraqi Police uncovered two weapons caches while conducting a cordon and search in the Nidah Region in the Diyala province of Iraq Nov. 20.
At approximately 7:30 a.m., IPs discovered two caches consisting of materials for making improvised explosive devices.
Following the search, Coalition forces reduced 260 pounds of home-made explosives, 200 feet of detonation cord, 10 blasting caps, four anti-personnel mines and two unknown fuses on scene.
“Our finding of this cache will certainly make a dent on terrorists’ activities and their efforts in the area,” said 1st Stryker Brigade Combat Team, 25th Infantry Division spokesman, Maj. Chris Hyde. “Residents should be able to sleep a little better tonight knowing that Coalition and Iraqi Forces have removed yet another threat to their daily life.”
