SUBJECT: SUBJ: THE UNITED NATIONS SPECIAL COMMISSION ON IRAQ 
(UNSCOM) HAS MADE AVAILABLE THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION DERIVED 
FROM THE UNSCOM 9/CW-2 (15 TO 22 AUGUST 1991) MISSION 
INSPECTION REPORT:
NOT FINALLY EVALUATED INTELLIGENCE
TO FACILITATE ELECTRONIC ACCESS, THIS DOCUMENT HAS BEEN
REFORMATTED TO ELIMINATE INFORMATION THAT DOES NOT PERTAIN
TO GULF WAR ILLNESS ISSUES OR THAT IS CLASSIFIED. A COPY OF
THIS REDACTED DOCUMENT, IN ORIGINAL FORMAT, IS AVAILABLE ON
REQUEST.
ANNEX R
ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS POSED BY UNSCOM 9 ON CHEMICAL AGENTS 
AND SYNTHETIC PROCESSES
120
WHY WAS THE ORIGINAL DECLARATION OF 155-MM MUSTARD SHELLS 
SO INCOMPLETE?
A: THE DECLARATION FOR KHAMISIYAH WAS NOT MADE UNTIL AFTER 
18 APRIL BECAUSE ON 18 APRIL KHAMISIYAH WAS STILL IN THE HANDS 
OF THE COALITION FORCES. WE DID NOT KNOW UNTIL AFTER THEIR 
WITHDRAWAL HOW MANY MUSTARD GAS SHELLS HAD BEEN LEFT THERE, IF ANY.
(COMMENT: EVEN IF CORRECT, THIS DOESN'T, OF COURSE, ANSWER 
THE QUESTION IN RELATION OF THE MUSTARD SHELLS AT FALLUJAH)
