TIKRIT, Iraq – After receiving small arms fire, Sons of Iraq repelled an enemy attack, killing four insurgents and discovering a large cache in the Salah ad Din province, May 7.
 
Several suicide vests were discovered along with 800 lbs of homemade explosives and other IED making materials.

An Explosive Ordnance Disposal team dismantled the munitions on site for disposal.
 
“Any effort in which forces can eliminate excessive amounts of explosives, places Iraq one step closer toward a state of overall security,” said Maj. Peggy Kageleiry, spokesperson for Multi-National Division–North.
