23-lb. fragmentation bombs, detonated at Odyssey Middle School on Sat., Jan. 5, 2008. Of these, 16 were empty and the remainder contained explosives. An unexploded ordnance technician is in the demolition hole with five of these munitions. Note the shaped charges at the end of each munition. This shoots into the device, and if filled with explosives (TNT), it will detonate. The white cord in the picture is the detonating cord, used during removal operations on Sat., Jan 5, 2008 to destroy and remove the munitions. |

Types of MEC scrap being found in the bombing target area – Oct. 3, 2007
This scrap came out of the J, K and L grids inside Pinecastle. On the right side of the photograph are two bodies of rifle grenades. Most of the scrap is rusted and cannot be positively identified. On the left side the third item, two down might be a nozzle from a 2.36 inch rocket. Most of the scrap we have taken out is typical of a ranch, i.e., nails, and wire.
