10. MISSILE/CHEM1CAL/INTELLIGENCE. ELEVEN PROBABLE
STAKE BED TRUCKS, ASSOC1ATED WITH THE TRANSFER OF CHEM1CAL
WEAPONS,
WERE OBSERVED 1N THE CRUCIFORM BUNKER STORAGE AREA OF THE SAMARRA
CW FAC1LITY DURING THE NIGHT OF 12 JANUARY. SEVEN OF THE TRUCKS
WERE AT ONE OF THE STORAGE BUNKERS, WHILE THE OTHER FOUR 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
SPEC1AL STORAGE AND F1LLING AREA. ON 27 DECEMBER, POSS1BLE SCUD
WARHEADS WERE OBSERVED ON A TRUCK DEPARTING THE SAMARRA FACILITY.
IT APPEARS THAT IRAQ IS PREPARING HIS FORCES FOR OFFENSIVE CW
OPERAT1ONS 1N THE EARLY DAYS OF A POTENTIAL CONFL1CT. THE PRESENCE
OF ELEVEN STAKE-BED TRUCKS IN SAMARRA'S CRUCIFORM BUNKER STORAGE
AREA REPRESENTS THE GREATEST NUMBER OF VEHICLES SEEN HERE SINCE
MAY
1988, JUST PR1OR TO A MAJOR CHEMICAL OFFENS1VE IN THE 1RAN-IRAQ
WAR. WH1LE LAST WEEK'S ACTIV1TY IN THE SPECIAL STORAGE AND
FILLING AREA WAS PROBABLY RELATED TO FILLING CHEM1CAL MUNITIONS,
TODAY'S ACTIVITY PROBABLY INVOLVES TRANSFER/DEPLOYMENT OPERATIONS
TO UNITS, AMMO DEPOTS, AND AIRFIELDS THAT HAVE BEEN DES1GNATED TO
USE OR STORE CHEM1CAL WEAPONS. IT 1S IMPOSSIBLE TO PRED1CT WHAT
TYPES OF WEAPONS MAY BE USED IN OFFENS1VE OPERATIONS. MISS1LES,
BOMBS, ROCKETS, AND ART1LLERY FILLED WITH NERVE OR BL1STER AGENT
ARE POSSIBLE.
