BAGHDAD, Iraq - On May 22, the Central Criminal Court of Iraq found the defendant, Ra'ad Sa'eed Rasheed Al-Qaisy, guilty of possession of illegal weapons and sentenced him to seven years imprisonment.
On February 6, just after midnight, soldiers from A Company, 1-37 Armor, observed Al-Qaisy engaging in suspicious activity by the side of a road. They searched him and found a remote control device in his possession.
Al-Qaisy admitted to having rocket-propelled grenades in his home during questioning. At about 5:00 am, February 6, soldiers from B Battery, 2-3 Field Artillery, went to Al-Qaisy's home and searched it and found a large weapons cache, including eight Russian RPG rounds, four Chinese RPG rounds, three Anti-tank RPG rounds, 14 RPG boosters, two RPG launchers, one RPG sight, 20 Iraqi hand grenades, three Russian hand grenades, 25 hand grenade fuses, four nuclear/biological/chemical kits, small arms, improvised-explosive-device making equipment, multiple hand radios, and various other material.
