a significant number of IEDs and wiring “that was clearly meant to serve as

found “more and more weapons and bloodstains”, particularly on roofs where
many of the weapons were hidden. At para.36 of his witness statement,
Lt. Col. Cummings said -
“The majority of the weapons were actually found in
Denham Town, behind false walls, in secret passageways
etc. and, in many instances, they appeared to have been
hastily hidden due to their crude hiding place.”
