BAGHDAD (AFP) - A team of 10 US deminers operating in southern and central Iraq (news - web sites) have found enough arms and explosives in two weeks to support a small-scale civil warIn four separate finds, the Explosives Ordnance Disposal (EOD) unit found 658 Rocket-Propelled Grenade (RPG) launchers, 950 mortars, 414 grenades, 17 machine guns with 584,253 rounds, 103 AK47s with 1,229 rounds, and 2,750 anti-aircraft rounds
We could start a small city revolution with what we've got," said Staff Sergeant Arthur Santoianni.
But he added that while the Iraqis were well armed, it had become obvious that many did not have the will to follow their commanders and had abandoned their weapons
The arms were made in Russia, Egypt, China, the former Yugoslavia, Belgium and Italy. The caches included German gas masks, Turkish supplies of the nerve gas antidote atropine, drums of French solvents and Vietnamese food stocks
had been shipped through Jordan or Turkey. All of the munitions had since been destroyed in six massive controlled explosions. [/B]
Staff Sergeant Michael Clark said. "A cache was also retrieved from an Iraqi sewer -- that was nasty."
