8. MISSILE/CHEMICAL/INTELLIGENCE. ON 4 JANUARY, FIVE STAKEBED
TRUCKS WERE OBSERVED IN THE SPECIAL STORAGE AND FILLING AREA AT
THE SAMARRA CW FACILITY. THIS IS THE GREATEST NUMBER OF STAKEBED
TRUCKS OBSERVED IN THIS PART OF THE SAMARRA FACILITY SINCE THE
INVASION OF KUWAIT. IN ADDITION, A PROBABLE 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 OBSERVED ON A
STAKEBED TRUCK THAT DEPARTED THIS AREA ON 27 DECEMBER 1990.
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.
