SECTION 01 OF 04
BODY PASS: [ (b)(2) ]
SUBJ: DAILY BDA STATUS UPDATE NO. 91-20.
1.
2. SUMMARY: [ (b)(1) sec 1.3(a)(4) ] IRAQ'S
BIOLOGICAL WARFARE RESEARCH AND PRODUCTION
CAPABILITY HAS BEEN DEGRADED BY 80 TO 90 PERCENT; ITS CHEMICAL
WEAPONS AGENT PRODUCTION BY 60 TO 70 PERCENT. [ (b)(1) sec
1.3(a)(4) ]

8. NUCLEAR, BIOLOGICAL, CHEMICAL
A. NUCLEAR: NO CHANGES HAVE BEEN OBSERVED IN THE
LAST 24 HOURS. [ (b)(1) sec 1.3(a)(4) ]
B. BIOLOGICAL: IRAQ'S BIOLOGICAL WARFARE (BW)
RESEARCH AND PRODUCTION CAPABILITY IS DEGRADED BY 80 TO 90
PERCENT. THE KEY RESEARCH AND PRODUCTION BUILDINGS AT THE SALMAN
PAK RESEARCH, PRODUCTION AND STORAGE FACILITY HAVE BEEN DAMAGED
BEYOND REPAIR, EFFECTIVELY ENDING IRAQ'S CAPABILITY TO RESEARCH
AND DEVELOP BW AGENTS. THE LOSS OF THE HIGH-CONTAINMENT (P3/P4)
BUILDING MAKES IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR IRAQ TO WORK WITH BW AGENTS
UNLESS IT HAS ESTABLISHED A NEW, AS YET UNIDENTIFIED FACILITY TO
TAKE OVER THIS FUNCTION.
C. CHEMICAL: ADDITIONAL PRODUCTION LINES AT THE
SAMARRA CHEMICAL WEAPONS PLANT HAVE BEEN SEVERELY DAMAGED,
REDUCING IRAQI CHEMICAL WEAPONS AGENT PRODUCTION CAPABILITY TO
30-40 PERCENT OF PREWAR LEVELS. IRAQ'S CHEMICAL WEAPONS STORAGE
BUNKERS CONTINUE TO BE ATTACKED BY COALITION FORCES. ONE OF THE
CRUCIFORM BUNKERS SAMARRA, AND AN S-SHAPED BUNKER AT AN
NASIRIYAH, HAVE BEEN DAMAGED. SIX S-SHAPED BUNKERS SUSPECTED OF
STORING CHEMICAL WEAPONS HAVE BEEN DAMAGED OR DESTROYED. THE
LOCATION OF CHEMICAL WEAPONS IS UNKNOWN. IT IS PROBABLE THAT THE
BULK OF THESE WEAPONS WERE DISPERSED TO IMPROVE SURVIVABILITY.
