EVIDENCE ON THE ABU GHURAYB BW FACILITY
(ALLEGED INFANT FORMULA PLANT)
1. THE ABU GHURAYB INFANT FORMULA FACILITY
A SUSPECT BW FACILITY          WE BELIEVE TO
BE A BACKUP BW PRODUCTION FACILITY.
ABU GHURAYB HAS THE
FOLLOWING CHARACTERISTICS WHICH SUPPORT OUR ASSESSMENT OF A
BW ROLE:
THE EQUIPMENT IN THE PLANT REPORTEDLY INCLUDES
EQUIPMENT COMMONLY USED FOR GROWING MICROORGANISMS,
NOT FOR PRODUCING INFANT FORMULA.
THIS COST
IS PROHIBITIVELY HIGH FOR PRODUCING INFANT FORMULA
IN THE THIRD WORLD. WE BELIEVE THE FACILITY WAS
NEVER USED TO PRODUCE INFANT FORMULA.
