Rockets Found: U.S., Iraqis Team Up to Foil Strike

US and Iraqi forces conducting operations in the Iraqi capital found a rocket cache prepped for use, thanks to a tip from locals:
Soldiers with the 2nd Infantry Brigade Combat Team, 2nd Infantry Division and the 1st Battalion, 4th Brigade, 1st Iraqi Army Division, recovered a weapons cache June 20 in eastern Baghdad.

Responding to a tip, members of the 2nd Battalion, 17th Field Artillery and the Iraqi Soldiers found five 107-milllimeter rockets, three fuses, and 23 rocket stands. Some of the rockets had been prepped for launch. The rockets were blown in place by an explosive ordnance disposal team.
Once again more proof that as we stand together in Iraq the terrorists will continue to fail. Good job boys.
