US continues search for weapons in Fallujah. ABC News Online
US military officials in Iraq say the amount of weapons they have discovered as they continue searching the city of Fallujah would have been enough to fuel a nationwide rebellion.
Us-led troops launched a huge operation three weeks ago to rid Fallujah of insurgents.
With the fighting in Fallujah all but done, US Marines are still searching building by building for weapons.
In a mosque complex in the east of the city they say they found grenades, mortars, rockets and bomb making materials.
They say they also discovered documents detailing interrogations of recent hostages.
A Marine commander described the weapons they had found in the city as a whole as “stunning", enough to mount an insurgency across the country.
