British troops in southern Iraq have uncovered a significant arsenal of ammunition, weapons and bomb-making equipment during a series of night time raids on locations to the south-west of Basra.
The raids, carried out by soldiers from the 1st Battalion The Yorkshire Regiment, took place in Az Zubayr, a town approximately 15 km south of Basra City, in the early hours of the morning, Saturday 27 January 2007.
At just after midnight local time, a group of unknown males were identified caching mortar rounds in a compound. The men were observed transferring the mortars into two vehicles, one of which was then tracked to a house in the town of Az Zubayr, where it parked up.
