Road Side Bomb
About 10:50 a.m. Saturday, troopers from the Stryker Brigade's 1st Squadron, 14th Cavalry Regiment found a roadside bomb while on patrol in Bajar, west of Mosul. The device was fashioned with five 155 mm artillery shells. Army Engineers destroyed it.
A 155 is the largest artillery munition used by Iraq. A direct hit by a projectile of this type is powerful enough to totally destroy a three-bedroom rambler. This improvised device had five 155 mm artillery shells incorporated in it's construction. Had the Iraqi insurgents been able to explode this device it would have caused considerable damage and loss of life.
The kids unit is stationed in north-western Iraq, in the area just west of Mosul. Elements of his Regiment found and destroyed this improvised explosive device.
