Huge arms cache seized
By Andy Cross
Denver Post Staff Photographer
Monday, March 31, 2003 - Marines fighting their way northward in central Iraq captured a large enemy ammunition site Sunday and found something startling there: U.S.- made weapons.
A Marine is silhouetted Sunday at an entrance to a large ammunition dump that U.S. troops captured in central Iraq. The cache even included aging U.S. weapons.
Among the massive piles of artillery rounds, mines and grenades jammed into - and even overflowing - the bunkers were several pieces of U.S. ammunition, including aging bangalore torpedoes.
"We found routing documents that were for U.S. weapons systems," said Capt. Myle Hammond, the commanding officer of Golf Company of the 2nd Battalion, 5th Marines. "In one specific instance, (there were) U.S. weapons that had been sold to Saudi Arabia, the paperwork was transferred to Yemen and now the weapons systems are here in Iraq in this compound."
The Marines, among the frontline troops in the coalition's northward push toward Baghdad, captured the site after heavy fighting. Members of the 3rd Battalion, 5th Marines, battled members of Iraq's Fedayeen Saddam militia and the elite Republican Guard, Hammond said. After that, Hammond's troops took over the area.
They found a sprawling ammunition site, measuring more than a half-mile square. There are about 50 concrete structures filled with munitions, and what didn't fit in the buildings was piled in berms around them. "Literally just within this facility, there is enough ammunition to supply a small army," Hammond said.
