13. ACTIVITY AT H-3 AIRFIELD AND QAYYARAH WEST
AMMUNITION DEPOTS INDICATES THAT IRAQ IS ATTEMPTING TO REMOVE
PROBABLE CHEMICAL WEAPONS FROM BUNKERS. AT BOTH LOCATIONS, TRUCKS
WERE NOTED ADJACENT TO THE BUNKERS AND UNIDENTIFIED CONTAINERS
WERE
AT QAYYARAH WEST. TO DATE, 6 OF THE 22 S-SHAPED SUSPECT CW BUNKERS
HAVE BEEN DAMAGED OR DESTROYED. THIS ACTIVITY SUPPORTS THE BELIEF
THAT. IRAQ IS DISPERSING ITS SENSITIVE CW STOCKS.
14. BIOLOGICAL. IRAQ'S KNOWN BW RESEARCH AND PRODUCTION
CAPABILITY HAS NOW BEEN ELIMINATED WITH THE DESTRUCTION OF THE
LAST
REMAINING SUSPECT BW FACILITY AT LATIFIYA. THE LATIFIYA FACILITY
WAS BELIEVED TO BE INVOLVED IN RESEARCH, DEVELOPMENT, AND PILOT-
SCALE PRODUCTION OF BW AGENTS. IRAQ IS UNABLE TO DEVELOP AND
PRODUCE BW AGENTS UNLESS IT HAS ESTABLISHED A NEE, UNLOCATED
FACILITY TO TAKE OVER THIS FUNCTION. AT KIRKUK AMMUNITION DEPOT,
THE 13TH OF 19 SPECIAL 12-FRAME REFRIGERATED BUNKERS HAS BEEN
DESTROYED. THIS FURTHER DEGRADES IRAQ'S KNOWN CAPACITY TO STORE BW
OR OTHER HEAT-SENSITIVE MATERIAL.
