Iraqi Army Soldiers from the Baghdad, 1st Infantry Battalion, 2nd Infantry Brigade of the 6th Iraqi Army Division, found a large weapons cache and detained 4 individuals during an early morning raid May 9 in north central Baghdad.

The raid near the town of Al Waziriah, netted nearly 100 sticks of the plastic explosive C-4 and several suicide vests. Iraqi Soldiers also found a possible "hit list" of names to target. 

The names of Iraqi Army and Iraqi Police members and other officials were reportedly among those on the list.

Terrorists have attacked Iraqi security forces in this area which includes the unit's headquarters. This work by the IA battalion will keep many more Iraqis safe from insurgent attack. 

The four suspects are currently in Iraqi Army custody for questioning.
