U.S. forces seized 3,000 gallons of nitric acid in a weapons cache hidden in a warehouse in eastern Baghdad, the military said Wednesday.

The discovery was made last Thursday during a routine cordon and search operation, the U.S. military said in a statement. Troops had been searching for suspects accused of planting car bombs in the area, it said.

Three Iraqi suspects were detained in the operation, and other confiscated items included mobile phones, vehicle license plates, identification cards, batteries and ammunition, the statement said.
