BAGHDAD Multi-National Division Baghdad troops uncovered a weapons cache in an eastern neighborhood of the Iraqi capital Aug. 15.
Military operations in Baghdads Adhamiyah District by Soldiers from the 3rd Squadron, 7th Cavalry Regiment led to the cache. The Soldiers found the cache after searching an abandoned house.
The cache included five AK-47s, 10 magazines, dynamite, hand grenades, an 82mm mortar system with 38 rounds, improvised explosive device components, 17 rockets, a roll of detonation cord, 13 shotgun shells and one machine gun.
Sounds like the equipment one might expect to find in one team of a heavy weapons platoon.
