(FRIENDLY ACTION) CACHE FOUND/CLEARED RPT CEXC : 0 INJ/DAM

(S//REL) On 010630ZMAR08, KPRT EOD was notified that there was a large cache of explosives which had been turned in by members of the ANP with a small note written in Arabic at the front gate of the compound. Upon arrival at the front gate, EOD was met by guards who notified them that the ANP members who turned in the cache had already left the gate area and they were not available for interview. ITEMS RECOVERED: a. (C//REL) A battery pack consisting of four (4x) C-cell batteries attached to a ballast box and a voltage meter. b. (C//REL) Five (5x) 76mm HE projectiles, origin unknown. These items were not turned over to CEXC. c. (C//REL) Three (3x) 107mm Chinese rockets. These items were not turned over to CEXC. d. (C//REL) Sixty (60x) aluminum containers filled with an unknown compound. Protruding from within the compound was a short piece of Dual Strand Multi-core wire which had been spliced at the ends and connected to a small bridge wire. Fifty nine (59x) of these containers were turned over to CEXC. CEXC consumed five (5x) of these containers in its testing and evaluation. Based on the inconclusive test results and for the safety of CEXC lab personnel, the remaining bowls will be turned over to EOD for disposal as there is the possibility that the aluminum bowls could contain an explosive compound.
