The camp was discovered during an operation between April 2 and 5 in the Jazeera desert in central Iraq, a military statement said. The camp was set up at an old radar station which was being used "as an insurgent training camp and weapons cache site,'' the statement said. The cache included more than 20,000 rounds of ammunition, surface-to-air missiles, machine guns, rockets, suicide-vest charges, hand grenades and other explosive materials.
