British troops storm Afghan compound

BAGRAM, Afghanistan -- British marines broke into a suspicious village compound and chanced upon one of the largest weapons caches uncovered in southeastern Afghanistan -- rooms stacked high with hundreds of mortars, rockets and heavy weapons. The marines said today that the arsenal they found stashed in the village of Surwipan near the Pakistani border may have been left by al-Qaida and Taliban fighters. More than 10 men were found in the compound, and some were held by the troops. "We were taken aback by the amount of stuff here," Sgt. Buck Ryan said.
