8.     MISSILE/CHEMICAL/INTELLIGENCE. PROBABLE STAKE BED TRUCKS,
ASSOCIATED WITH THE TRANSFER OF CHEMICAL WEAPONS, WERE REPORTED TO
BE IN THE CRUCIFORM BUNKER STORAGE AREA OF THE SAMARRA CW FACILITY
DURING THE NIGHT OF 12 JANUARY. SOME OF THE TRUCKS WERE AT ONE OF
THE STORAGE BUNKERS, WHILE THE OTHERS WERE AT THE ENTRANCE TO THE
STORAGE AREA. COMMENT: THIS INCREASED TRUCK ACTIVITY FOLLOWS THE 4
AND 5 JANUARY SURGE IN ACTIVITY AT SAMARRA'S SPECIAL STORAGE AND
FILLING AREA. ON 27 DECEMBER, POSSIBLE SCUD WARHEADS WERE NOTED ON
A TRUCK DEPARTING THE SAMARRA FACILITY. IT SEEMS THAT IRAQ IS
PREPARING ITS FORCES FOR OFFENSIVE CW OPERATIONS IN THE EARLY DAYS
OF A POTENTIAL CONFLICT. THE PRESENCE OF ABOUT TEN STAKE-BED 
TRUCKS
IN SAMARRA'S CRUCIFORM BUNKER STORAGE AREA REPRESENTS THE GREATEST
NUMBER OF VEHICLES REPORTED HERE SINCE MAY 1988, JUST PRIOR TO A
MAJOR CHEMICAL OFFENSIVE IN THE IRAN-IRAQ WAR. WHILE LAST WEEK'S
ACTIVITY IN THE SPECIAL STORAGE AND FILLING AREA WAS PROBABLY
RELATED TO FILLING CHEMICAL MUNITIONS, 14 JANUARY ACTIVITY 
PROBABLY
INVOLVES TRANSFER/DEPLOYMENT OPERATIONS TO UNITS, AMMO DEPOTS, AND
AIRFIELDS THAT HAVE BEEN DESIGNATED TO USE OR STORE CHEMICAL
WEAPONS. IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO PREDICT WHAT TYPES OF WEAPONS MAY WE
USED IN OFFENSIVE OPERATIONS. MISSILES, BOMBS, ROCKETS, AND
ARTILLERY FILLED WITH NERVE OR BLISTER AGENT ARE POSSIBLE.
