/*********** THIS IS A COMBINED MESSAGE ************/
BODY COUNTRY: (U) IRAQ (IZ); [ (b)(1) sec 1.3(a)(4) ]
SUBJECT: IIR 6 834 0421 91/IRAQI CHEMICAL WARFARE
CAPABILITIES. DESERT STORM. (U).
WARNING: (U) THIS IS AN INFORMATION REPORT, NOT FINALLY
EVALUATED INTELLIGENCE.

SUMMARY: THIS REPORT FORWARDS INFORMATION ON
IRAQI CHEMICAL AGENT PRODUCTION PLANTS, STORAGE DEPOTS,
SCUD MISSILES, THE IRAQI CHEMICAL WARFARE SCHOOL,[ (b)(1) sec
1.3(a)(4) ]
TEXT: 1. THE FOLLOWING EXCERPTS ARE FROM [ (b)(1) sec 1.3(a)(4)
]
2. [ (b)(1) sec 1.3(a)(4) ].
A. [ (b)(1) sec 1.3(a)(4) ]
B. [ (b)(1) sec 1.3(a)(4) ]
C. [ (b)(1) sec 1.3(a)(4) ]
D. [ (b)(1) sec 1.3(a)(4) ] ALSO BELIEVED THAT THE IRAQIS
HAVE CHEMICAL MINES AND CHEMICAL ARTILLERY PROJECTILES ABOVE
120MM. HE DOUBTS THEY HAVE CHEMICAL MORTAR AMMUNITION. [
(b)(1) sec 1.3(a)(4) ]
E. IF THE IRAQIS HAVE A CHEMICAL WARHEAD FOR THE
SCUD, [ (b)(1) sec 1.3(a)(4) ] OPINED THAT IT WOULD
PROBABLY CONTAIN SARIN, DUE TO VISCOSITY AND WARHEAD FLIGHT
STABILIZATION PROBLEMS. A SECOND CHOICE WOULD BE YPERIT, BUT THE
EFFECTS WITH THIS WOULD NOT BE AS GREAT.
F. [ (b)(1) sec 1.3(a)(4) ] WARNED THAT IF A SCUD WITH A
CHEMICAL WARHEAD WERE INTERCEPTED BY A PATRIOT MISSLE OVER A
POPULATED AREA, THE CASUALTY EFFECT COULD BE AT LEAST
DOUBLE THAT OF A GROUND BURST. THE AGENT WOULD BE SPREAD
OVER A LARGER AREA. HOWEVER, AN AIRBURST FROM A SCUD WITH
A TABUN WARHEAD WOULD BE INEFFECTIVE BECAUSE IT WOULD
DISSIPATE TOO QUICKLY.
G. [ (b)(1) sec 1.3(a)(4) ]
H. [ (b)(1) sec 1.3(a)(3) ] OFFENSIVE CHEMICAL USE WAS NOT
TAUGHT. [ (b)(1) sec 1.3(a)(5) ].
I. [ (b)(1) sec 1.3(a)(4) ]
3. [ (b)(1) sec 1.3(a)(4) ]
A. [ (b)(1) sec 1.3(a)(4) ]
B. PRODUCTION FACILITIES FOR VX, SOMAN, AND SARIN
ARE IN ALQUEIM (IN SOUTHERN IRAQ). [ (b)(1) sec 1.3(a)(4) ]
PRODUCTION FACILITIES FOR BIOLOGICAL
AGENTS ARE IN SANDARIA, WHICH IS ABOUT 50 KILOMETERS SOUTH
OF BAGHDAD. (NFI)
C. [ (b)(1) sec 1.3(a)(4) ] IRAQ DID NOT/NOT HAVE
ROCKETS/MISSILES WITH CHEMICAL OR BIOLOGICAL WARHEADS.
D. [ (b)(1) sec 1.3(a)(4) ]
4. [ (b)(1) sec 1.3(a)(4) ]
A. [ (b)(1) sec 1.3(a)(4) ]
NO CHEMICALS WERE STORED AT THE TRAINING AREA.
B. A LARGE MUNITIONS FACTORY, WHICH MIGHT BE
CHEMICAL CAPABLE, IS ABOUT 5 KM TO THE WEST OF THE
TRAINING AREA.
[ (b)(1) sec 1.3(a)(4) ].
C. [ (b)(1) sec 1.3(a)(4) ]
B. CHEMICAL STORAGE AREAS:
-SAMARRA (ALMOST CERTAIN).
-AL QAIM IN VICINITY OF RUTBA, NW IRAQ (HINTS OF
STORAGE HERE).
-BETWEEN KERBELA AND NEDJEF IN A RESTRICTED AREA
(REPORT ASSUMES CHEMICAL WEAPONS STORED HERE).
-KARASCHUK (PHONETIC) IN THE MOUNTAINS WEST OF KIRKUK
(HINTS OF CHEMICAL STORAGE).
-IN SALMAN PAK IS A PROBABLE BIOLOGICAL AND CHEMICAL
RESEARCH CENTER.
-FAMARA HAS A CHEMICAL WEAPONS DEPOT.
C. CHEMICAL PRODUCTION FACILITIES:
-MAIN ONE AT SAMARRA.
-AT ISKANDERIA, EXPLOSIVE PROJECTILES ARE PRODUCED.
ON A NUMBER OF OCCASIONS, PROJECTILES WERE SEEN THERE WITH
YELLOW MARKING RINGS.
D. [ (b)(1) sec 1.3(a)(4) ]
E. SOME IRAQI AIRCRAFT BUNKERS [ (b)(1) sec 1.3(a)(4) ]
CHEMICAL WEAPONS WERE PROBABLY STORED INSIDE AS WELL.
F. [ (b)(1) sec 1.3(a)(4) ]
G. TYPES OF CHEMICALS:
-MUSTARD, SARIN, TABUN.
-VX IN DEVELOPMENT.

A. A POSSIBLE CHEMICAL WEAPONS PRODUCTION SITE
WAS LOCATED SW OF FAMARA (FROM BAGHDAD IN THE DIRECTION OF
AL FALLUJA).
