Major General Kevin Bergner, Senior Spokesman, Multi-National Force, revealed new detailed information of discovery of arms and ammunition made in Iran, and asked Iran to halt its subversive measures and support of special groups in Iraq.

General Bergner said: on May 27th the Iraqi National Police – the 2nd Battalion of the 5th Brigade of the 2nd National Police Division – discovered two abandoned houses that contained two sizeable weapons collections belonging to special groups. Some of the weapons found included 11 explosively-formed penetrators, some 250 mortar rounds of various sizes – these included Iranian-made 120 millimeter and 60 millimeter mortars, 50 pounds of homemade explosive materials, 60 blocks of C4 explosive material, and 20 rocket-propelled grenades, and some 10,000 rounds of 7.62 millimeter ammunition.

General Bergner added: What we have seen though is we have seen the provision of weapons, equipment, and funding – certainly going to the special groups. And we know that the special groups depend on Iranian Quds Force operatives as a basis for that lethal support.
