Teenage Ally Helps Soldiers in Iraq

From Fox News

What the boy had was information on a well-connected cell of 40 fighters whose leader was a former officer in Saddam Hussein's (search) army. He was also the boy's father.

Here is a bit that caught my attention.

They found explosives, rocket propelled grenades and a complete weapons system they hadn't seen before.

What does that mean?
