DISCUSSION
))
IRAQ'S SUCCESSFUL EXPERIENCE IN DEVELOPING SOPHISTICATED,
COVERT COMMERCIAL NETWORKS FOR ITS CHEMICAL, BIOLOGICAL, AND
NUCLEAR PROGRAMS COULD BE PIVOTAL IN CIRCUMVENTING THE SANCTIONS.
FUNNELING GOODS INTO IRAQ IS ALREADY OCCURRING ON A LIMITED BASIS
VIA AIR TRANSPDRT FLIGHTS.
[ (b)(1) sec 1.3(a)(4) ]
IN THE EVENT OF HOSTILITIES, IRAQ MIGHT USE ITS CHEMICAL
ARSENAL, PARTICULARLY IF IT IS ATTACKED. MODERATE ACTIVITY
CONTINUES AT THE SAMMARAH CHEMICAL FACILITY, AND POSSIBLE CHEMICAL
WARFARE (CW) HANDLING ACTIVITY HAS BEEN REPORTED AT SAMMARAH EAST
AIRFIELD. MEANWHILE, A RECENTLY CONSTRUCTED CW DECONTAMINATION
SITE
WAS NOTED 7 KILOMETERS SOUTHWEST OF RAS AL QULAYAH, KUWAIT.
ALTHOUGH POSSIBLY RELATED TO FUEL HANDLING FOR THE NEARBY SILKWORM
SITE, IT MORE LIKELY WAS BUILT FOR USE IN WASHING DOWN
CONTAMINATED
VEHICLES. [ (b)(1) sec 1.3(a)(4) ]
