BAGHDAD — The U.S. military says Iraqi soldiers have found a weapons cache including 90 rockets, Iranian mortar shells and an American unmanned drone in a feed warehouse in Baghdad.

Military spokesman Lt. Col. Steve Stover says the items seized are signature weapons of Iranian-backed Shiite militia factions who have been blamed for past attacks against the Green Zone and other targets.

The military says the cache found Saturday includes 90 122 mm Soviet rockets and Iranian and Yugoslav mortar shells.

A statement also lists parts for armor-piercing roadside bombs, 500 pounds of ball bearings and other explosives.

It says the munitions have been transported to a nearby U.S. combat outpost for disposal.
