ISF find largest EFP cache to date

FORWARD OPERATING BASE KALSU, Iraq
A tip led Iraqi Security Forces to the largest explosively-formed penetrator cache found to date in Multi-National Division - Center's area of operation, April 2. The munitions were discovered in a 6-ton truck in a garage in al Qasim.
The cache contained more than 1000 EFP components, more than 3000 pounds of explosives and 45 Katusha 107 mm rockets and stands. Also included in the cache were more than 10 devices used to detonate improvised explosive devices, 250 PKC rounds, 10 60 mm mortar shells and one 60 mm stand.
The rockets are believed to have been manufactured in Iran.
"The ISF continue to confiscate the lethal tools of the enemy, disrupt the enemy's freedom of maneuver, and apprehend key members of the (criminal) leadership," said Capt. Michael Ranado, battle captain for 31st Military Transition Team, 4th Brigade Special Troops Battalion, 3rd Infantry Division. "The IP (Iraqi Police) and IA (Iraqi Army) have successfully provided security for the people of the Babil province and continue vigilantly to do so."
The cache was moved to the Joint Coordination Center in Hillah.

I guess the Iranian and Washington DC license plates gave the deal away, along with the ALLAH ACKBAR and HILLARY / OBAMA 2008 bumper stickers?

We need to Return to Sender these exposives. Iran needs a few JDAMs and a MOAB or two in strategic places. A large portion of their population would like to see a power change and we should be supplying those folks with ieds.

Let me guess. Explosives with an exclusive made in China label intermixed with explosives with a made in Russia label. Katyusha rockets from Iran and Syria, of course Putin has nothing to do with this, he's George's friend and bestest buddy. What we need is an invitation to the East River establishment where we can award both of them the Nobel. Maybe Obama's persuasiveness will work.

Tom I sure do agree, the day is coming when we will deal with Iran big time. Maybe soon not sure, but there are things in the wind anyway.
