MOSUL, Iraq – Soldiers from 4th Brigade, 2nd Iraqi Army Division discovered an improvised explosive device-making facility July 8 during operations in the Al-Sina’a neighborhood.
The accompanying cache consisted of 400 lbs. of Ammonium Nitrate, fragmentation material, cement and molds for shaping, and numerous batteries and other IED components. A completed curb-shaped IED, ready for emplacement, was also found.
The 2nd Iraqi Army Division Bomb Disposal Company responded to the find and reduced all of the material in place.
An IED of this nature would ahve been very difficult to discover and we can be very happy that it wasn't emplaced and used against our troops, Iraqi troops or even worse, innocent civilians.
