From MNF-I, Coalition forces find and clear two AQI IED weapons caches in Jazeera Desert.
BALAD, Iraq – Coalition forces discovered and destroyed two al-Qaeda in Iraq weapons caches during a reconnaissance patrol in the Jazeera Desert, recently.
The two caches included more than 125 improvised explosive device components, such as blasting caps, batteries, pressure plates, cordless phone chargers, IED trigger circuits, steel IED canisters, copper plates and springs.
