Explosives Dropped by Fleeing AQI
They were heard to exclaim “Feets, don’t fail me now!”
An Iraqi citizen recovered a bag of C4 explosives from two fleeing suspected al-Qaeda in Iraq members near al-Aziziyah, approximately 79 kilometers southwest of Baghdad, June 9.
The Iraqi man, suspicious due to recent thefts in the area, began chasing two men he suspected to be AQI. The two men abandoned a bag as they fled on dirt bikes.
The man recovered the dropped bag, which contained a cache of several blocks of C4, Russian PE4 and other explosive making equipment. He then turned the weapons cache over to Special Forces at a base in al-Kut.
The suspected AQI members have been hiding in the town and disguising themselves as shepherds in order to ambush and steal from the local population.
The cache has been moved and will be destroyed by a Coalition explosive ordnance disposal team.
