American Forces Press Service

March 10, 2009 - U.S. and Iraqi soldiers detained a criminal suspect and seized a large cache of illegal explosives in separate incidents this week in northwestern Baghdad, military officials reported. U.S. soldiers accompanied Iraqi soldiers March 8 as they detained a suspect with a warrant in the Kadamiyah district. They seized firearms, a computer, several cell phones and other materials during the arrest.

U.S. and Iraqi soldiers seized a weapons cache yesterday in the Ghazaliyah neighborhood. The cache consisted of 75 bags of homemade explosives.

An Iraqi ordnance disposal team recovered the items for analysis, and later destroyed them.
