7. MISSILE/CHEMICAL/INTELLIGENCE. ON 4 JANUARY, FIVE STAKEBED
TRUCKS WERE REPORTED IN THE SPECIAL STORAGE AND FILLING AREA AT 
THE
SAMARRA CW FACILITY. THIS IS THE GREATEST NUMBER OF STAKEBED 
TRUCKS
REPORTED IN THIS PART OF THE SAMARRA FACILITY SINCE THE INVASION 
OF
KUWAIT. IN ADDITION, A DECONTAMINATION VEHICLE AND TWO FORKLIFT
TRUCKS WERE PRESENT. WHILE NO ACTUAL HANDLING OF CHEMICAL 
MUNITIONS
WAS NOTED, THE PRESENCE OF THE STAKEBED TRUCKS SUGGESTS CW 
TRANSFER
OPERATIONS ARE UNDERWAY. FOUR UNIDENTIFIED CANISTERS, PROBABLY 
SCUD
WARHEADS, WERE REPORTEDLY ON A STAKEBED TRUCK THAT DEPARTED THIS
AREA ON 27 DECEMBER 1990.
8. COMMENT: ACTIVITY IN THE STORAGE/FILLING COMPOUND AT
SAMARRA HAS GRADUALLY INCREASED SINCE 17 DECEMBER. THE PROBABLE
MUNITIONS FILLING AND TRANSFER ACTIVITY INDICATES THAT THE IRAQIS
HAVE BEEN PRODUCING NEW BATCHES OF CHEMICAL AGENT IN ORDER TO
REPLENISH OLD AGENT STOCKS. THIS POSSIBLE PRODUCTION RUN, THE 
FIRST
SINCE MID-OCTOBER, SUGGESTS THAT SADDAM HUSAYN HAS DECIDED TO HAVE
FRESH STOCKS OF CHEMICAL AGENTS AVAILABLE FOR POTENTIAL USE IN MID
JANUARY.
