BAGHDAD, Iraq – Coalition forces found 12 rocket launchers south of Baghdad, following a tip from a local resident, April 23.

The rocket launchers, designed for 107 mm Iranian rockets, were hidden near a reported launch site used for attacks against Forward Operating Base Falcon.
Initiation wire attached to the launchers was marked “Made in Iran,” and is the same type of wire found at previous launch sites.

The rocket launchers were recovered by Coalition forces.
