I think you'll see more and more of this as the days go by now that the Iraqis have the responsiblity for the success of their government. Its highly likely that the source for this was Iraqi:

U.S. forces uncovered a facility where car and roadside bombs were made, and detained 51 people believed linked to an insurgent cell, U.S. military officials said Saturday.

Soldiers from the 1st Battalion 8th Cavalry Regiment discovered four vehicles that were to be potentially used as car bombs and several assembled roadside bombs.

Also found were several automatic weapons, ammunition, explosives and $8,750.

``These discoveries deal a blow to anti-Iraqi forces,'' Lt. Col. James Hutton, the spokesman for the 1st Cavalry, said in a statement.

It was not clear when the operations were carried out.

The detainees are all suspected of being members of an insurgent cell responsible for placing roadside bombs that have killed two U.S. soldiers in the area.
