Iraqi Army Raid Nets 3 Tons of TNT, 121 Terrorism Suspects

The article covers highlights of activities all over Iraq, but the Iraqi raid is the top story. Troops of the Iraqi Army’s 8th Division conducted a raid near Jurf al-Sakher on March 25, 2005. The Iraqis detained 121 suspects and siezed 3 tons of TNT, "624 rifles, 250,000 light ammunition rounds, 22,000 medium rounds, 193 rocket-propelled-grenade launchers, 300 RPG rockets, 27 82-mm mortar tubes, and 155 82-mm mortar rounds." - I don't know what they mean by "light" vs. "medium" ammo; I assume it is mostly 7.62mm and 12.7mm, but maybe 5.45mm, 5.56mm, 9mm and 14.5mm as well.
