SUMMARY: THIS REPORT CONTAINS INFORMATION ON [
(b)(7)(D) ] DESCRIPTIONS OF THE AL MADAIN ENVIRONS
WHERE THEY WERE
HELD BY IRAQ DURING THE GULF WAR/OPERATION DESERT STORM -
ENCLOSURE.
X-
TEXT: (U)
1. [ (b)(7)(D) ]HOSTAGE WAS HELD AT A CAMP CALLED AL MADAIN
NEAR A VILLAGE OF APPROXIMATELY 5000 INDIVIDUALS. THE HOSTAGE
DESCRIBED THE CAMP AS LOCATED SOUTH OF BAGHDAD. FROM THE SALMAN
PAK EXIT, THE HOSTAGES CROSSED THE RIVER AND HEADED SOUTHWEST TO
AL MADAIN. THE ENTRANCE TO THE CAMP WAS TWO KILOMETERS (KM) FROM
THE POST OFFICE. ((SOURCE COMMENT) - THE RIVER PROBABLY REFERS TO
A LARGE IRRIGATION CANAL BECAUSE THERE ARE NO VILLAGES ON THE WEST
SIDE OF THE TIGRIS RIVER IN THAT VICINITY. ADDITIONALLY, THESE
DIRECTIONS MATCH THE ROUTE TO THE ENTRANCE OF THE SALMAN PAK BW
FACILITY).
2. THE HOSTAGE DESCRIBED A FIVE STORY BROWN AND WHITE
BUILDING WHICH HAD WINDOWS ONLY ON THE FIRST FLOOR AND MAY HAVE
BEEN A LABORATORY. NEXT TO THE BUILDING WAS A BUS STATION, A CAR
WASH, AND A PARKING AREA FOR APPROXIMATELY 100 CARS. MOST CARS
HAD BLUE GOVERNMENT LICENSE PLATES. THE RIVER WAS LOCATED NEAR
THE FACILITY. THE HOSTAGE STATED THAT BIRDS AND DOGS WERE KEPT AT
THE FACILITY AND HE COULD HEAR THEM CRYING (SIC).
3. A SECOND HOSTAGE STATED THAT HE WAS IMPRISONED AT AN
ANIMAL RESEARCH FACILITY AT AL MADAIN. THERE WERE MANY BARRACKS
WITH ANIMALS, PRIMARILY BIRDS. MANY TRUCKS CARRYING CANISTERS
CAME AND WENT. THE FACILITY WAS SURROUNDED BY HIGH DIRT WALLS, AN
ELECTRIC FENCE, AND TWIN ANTI-AIRCRAFT GUNS. THE ENTRANCE TO THE
BARRACKS WAS FOUR KM FROM THE MAIN ENTRANCE TO THE CAMP. THE
BARRACKS WERE DESCRIBED AS 500-1000 METERS LONG AND ALL ONE STORY
HIGH. THE AREA WAS SURROUNDED BY SMALL FORESTS AND LOOKED
RESIDENTIAL ((FIELD COMMENT) - THIS DESCRIPTION MATCHES THE AREA
LOCATED IN THE ANTI-TERRORIST TRAINING CAMP AT THE SOUTHERN TIP OF
THE SALMAN PAK PENINSULA). THERE WAS A BUILDING CALLED THE
"SUBMARINE" NEAR THE BARRACKS WHICH THE HOSTAGE THOUGHT WAS FOR
PRODUCING CASINGS BECAUSE THE MACHINES MADE A TREMENDOUS NOISE.
UNRULY PRISONERS WERE PLACED IN THIS BUILDING AND CAME BACK
"HEALED" (NFI).
4. A THIRD SOURCE ALSO DESCRIBED BEING HELD AT AL MADAIN
WHICH HE BELIEVED WAS A STORAGE PLACE FOR CHEMICAL WEAPONS.
5. A FOURTH SOURCE STATED THAT THE LOWER THIRD OF THE
PENINSULA CONTAINED A SPECIAL AMMUNITION PRODUCTION FACILITY. THE
DESIGNATION OF THE FACILITY OR THE AMMUNITION ITSELF WAS DF-44.
6. FORMER EAST GERMAN TECHNICIANS FROM THE THYSSEN
COMPANY BUILT CHEMICAL LABORATORIES IN THE NORTHERN PRODUCTION
AREA AT SALMAN PAK. THEY STATED THAT THE VENTILATION SYSTEM WAS
LARGE AND TEN TIMES WHAT WAS NEEDED FOR HIGH CONTAINMENT. THE
FORMER EAST GERMAN TEAM THAT BUILT THE BUNKERS STATED THAT THERE
WERE EXTENSIVE UNDERGROUND SYSTEMS AT SALMAN PAK. ((FIELD
COMMENT) - A PHOTO LOG OF THE UNSCOM SEVEN (7) VISIT TO SALMAN PAK
WAS PROVIDED. THE TEAM WAS CONCERNED ABOUT MISSING PHOTOS AND THE
DISCREPANCY BETWEEN THE NUMBERING SYSTEM OF THE FIL
M ROLLS AND THE ORDER OF THE INSPECTION).
