Soldiers report discovery of huge weapons cache
Tikrit, Iraq-AP -- U-S soldiers operating in northern Iraq say they've found a huge weapons cache in a farmhouse outside Saddam Hussein's hometown of Tikrit. They say the cache includes 250 assault rifles, eleven-thousand rocket-propelled grenade rounds, and two tons of C-Four explosives.
Rocket-fired grenades have been used numerous times in what's been a string of attacks on U-S forces and on Iraqis believed to be working with the Americans.
The weapons cache was found by the Fourth Infantry, which is part of the 30-thousand-member task force operating in the north.
