The 55 grenades were taken to the Tikrit police station, where Iraqi police and US Military Police inspected them before taking them away for destruction.
"It's very significant," said Lieutenant-Colonel David Poirier of the 89th MP Brigade's 7-20 battalion, currently based in Tikrit, the hometown of ousted president Saddam Hussein (news - web sites), 180 kilometers (110 miles) north of Baghdad.

"These are very dangerous pieces of ordnance, they can penetrate armored vehicles," he said Monday as he surveyed the ammunition, which he stressed could have been used in anti-US attacks.

Poirier said the Russian-made weapons came from a single cache and were brought in by a man whose identity he would not reveal. He said the man probably would be given a reward for turning them in.

The ammunition represented only a minute fraction of the massive amount of ordnance stashed in Iraq (news - web sites), estimated at between 600,000 and one million tonnes.
