The army on Saturday paraded before the press suspected People's Redemption Army (PRA) rebels and arms it said had been unearthed from Lurujo, Koboko county in Arua district.
The cache included 13 SMG's, 4,000 bullets, five RPG bombs, one RPG fuse, 14 anti-personal land mines and 10 fuses of anti-personnel mines.
Others were one anti tank mine, one MMG magazine, eight SMG empty magazines, one RPG optic sight, seven grenades and 15 SMG magazines.
West Nile UPDF spokesman Lt. Anech Mubangizi said the arms were recovered from a disguised pit latrine at the home of Zakaria Musa, a brother to Capt. Driat Brahan, a former intelligence officer in the defunct UNRF II.
