US Army: largest EFP cache ever reported south of Baghdad was discovered

The U.S. military says the largest cache of armor-piercing roadside bombs known as explosively formed penetrators (EFP) has been found south of Baghdad, Associated Press reported on Monday, April 7.

The military says the cache included more than 3,000 pounds (1,360 kilograms) of explosives, multiple 107 mm rockets and stands along with other munitions.
Sunday’s statement says the cache has been moved to the nearby city of Hillah, which is about 95 kilometers (60 miles) south of Baghdad.
The powerful bombs have killed hundreds of American forces.

A statement says: more than 1,000 bomb components were found Wednesday on a tip in a 6-ton truck in a garage in the town of Qassim. American commanders allege that the EFPs come from Iran.
