U.S. forces have uncovered a facility where car and roadside bombs were made, and detained 51 people believed linked to an insurgent cell, U.S. military officials said Saturday. Soldiers from the 1st Battalion 8th Cavalry Regiment discovered four vehicles that were to be potentially used as car bombs and several assembled roadside bombs. Also found at the sites in the southern part of the capital, Baghdad, were several automatic weapons, ammunition, explosives and 12 million Iraqi Dinars (about $12,000 Cdn). "These discoveries deal a blow to anti-Iraqi forces," U.S. Lt.-Col. James Hutton, the spokesman for the 1st Cavalry, said in a statement. It was not clear when the operations were carried out. The detainees are all suspected of being members of an insurgent cell responsible for placing roadside bombs that have killed two U.S. soldiers in the area.
