SUMMARY: THIS REPORT IS A TRANSLATION OF AN ARTICLE FROM
THE EGYPTIAN NEWSPAPER AL HAKIKA, 09 FEB 91, ON IRAQI CASUALTIES
DUE TO BIOLOGICAL WARFARE (BW).
X-
TEXT: (U)
1. (U) TITLE--DISEASE EPIDEMICS OVERWHELM IRAQI CITIES. FIFTY
SOLDIERS WERE KILLED BY THEIR OWN BIOLOGICAL WEAPON.
2. (U) FIFTY SOLDIERS DIED FROM SPORULATED ANTHRAX (SPORES)
EXPOSURE DUE TO THE DESTRUCTION OF ONE OF THE MICROBIOLOGICAL
DEPOTS IN THE "BAGHDAD" MILITARY AREA THAT DOES DEVELOPMENT AND
PRODUCTION OF BW, FOLLOWING BOMBARDMENT WITH 2,000 POUND BOMBS
FROM B-52'S.
3. (U) THE IRAQI AUTHORITIES TOOK ABOUT A HUNDRED SOLDIERS TO A
HOSPITAL IN BAGHDAD WHERE DOCTORS FAILED TO TREAT THEM (THE
MEDICAL TREATMENT FAILED). AN EGYPTIAN PHYSICIAN TOLD AL HAKIKA,
FOLLOWING HIS ESCAPE FROM THE HOSPITAL AND CROSSING THE SYRIAN
BORDER, THAT THE MICROBE IS STILL AT THE HOSPITAL AND EFFORTS IN
ERADICATING (DECONTAMINATING) THE AREA HAVE NOT BEEN SUCCESSFUL.
HE ADDED "THE IRAQI SOLDIERS THAT DIED UPON ARRIVAL AT THE
HOSPITAL WERE THE ONES GUARDING THE FACILITY. THIS EXPLAINS THEIR
EXPOSURE TO LARGE DOSES OF THE ORGANISM THAT CAUSED ACUTE
PULMONARY INFLAMMATION (INFECTION) AND BLOOD POISONING AND
INTESTINAL POISONING. ALL EFFORTS TO TREAT THEM FAILED".
4' (U) THIS PHYSICIAN ASSERTED THAT A LOT OF DISEASES HAVE
SPREAD IN THE IRAQI CITIES OF BASRA, BAGHDAD, MOSUL AND TIKRIT.
HE SUSPECTS THAT THESE DISEASES ARE RESULTING FROM DESTRUCTION OF
FACILITIES THAT DEAL IN THE ARENA OF RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
(PRODUCTION) OF BW; THE MAJORITY OF THESE FACILITIES ARE LOCATED
IN THE SUBURBS OF BAGHDAD.
