Iraq - citizen tip leads to capture of terrorists

and a hughe weapons cache.

A day earlier, an Iraqi citizen’s tip led soldiers from Troop B, 1st Squadron, 61st Cavalry Regiment, 4th Brigade Combat Team, 101st Airborne Division, to the discovery of a large weapons cache and the apprehension of six suspected terrorists in southeastern Baghdad around 6:40 p.m. Sept. 18.

A concerned Iraqi citizen told the soldiers that terrorists attempted to kidnap civilians in front of his residence. The soldiers then saw a suspicious vehicle speeding away from the area. The vehicle was stopped at a nearby Iraqi police checkpoint and searched, revealing an AK-47 assault rifle.

Soldiers then conducted a detailed search of the area and seized weapons caches consisting of 30 rocket-propelled-grenade rounds, four RPG launchers, a 60 mm mortar tube, seven 82 mm mortar rounds, three flash-bang grenades, a fragmentation grenade, two PKM machine guns, two AK-47 assault rifles, a PPSH machine gun, two SKS assault rifles, a PPSH drum with ammo, two drums of 7.62 mm ammunition, 18 loaded AK-47 magazines, 2,000 rounds of 7.62 mm ammunition and various bomb-making materials.

That's a lot of fire power taken out of the hands of terrorists.
