Kabul, October 10, 2007 (Pajhwok Afghan News): Afghan National Security Forces (ANSF), along with Coalition troops, have discovered and confiscated a major ammunition cache in the southern Zabul province.

"The ANSF moved to the suspected area where they found and recovered the ammunition cache," said a Coalition statement emailed to Pajhwok Afghan News.

The cache, consisting of 100 rocket propelled grenade rounds, 6,400 PKM rounds and over 150,000 AK-47 rounds, was hidden in a compound near Jarullah village. According to the ANSF, the ammunition was in brand new condition.
