Summary

The Arabian Gulf (Mar. 21, 2003) Rifles, a night-vision spotting scope and ammunition are among the cache of weapons and mines confiscated from an Iraqi barge. The items were carefully camouflaged inside the barge as oil barrels on the deck. The barge was intercepted and inspected by Coalition Maritime Interdiction Operation (MIO) and Vessel Board Search and Seizure (VBSS) teams in the early hours of Operation Iraqi Freedom. Operation Iraqi Freedom is the multi-national coalition effort to liberate the Iraqi people, eliminate Iraqs weapons of mass destruction and end the regime of Saddam Hussein.
