CHEMICAL WARFARE ACTIVITY
/****** BEGINNING OF SECTION 004 ******/
18. MOST OF IRAQ'S CHEMICAL STORES ARE PROBABLY OF A UNITARY
NATURE AND ARE AT THE END OF THEIR SHELF LIFE (4 TO 6 WEEKS)
BECAUSE OF POOR QUALITY. THE LAST KNOWN MAJOR PRODUCTION RUN IN
IRAQ ENDED IN EARLY OCTOBER. THEREFORE, IF SADDAM INTENDS TO
EMPLOY CHEMICAL WARFARE EFFECTIVELY, HE WILL HAVE TO INITIATE A
MAJOR CHEMICAL PRODUCTION RUN BEFORE HOSTILITIES BEGIN. NO SUCH
CHEMICAL AGENT PRODUCTION RUN HAS BEEN DETECTED, BUT THE MUNITION
FILL AREA OF THE SAMARRA CHEMICAL WARFARE FACILITY HAS BEEN THE
SITE FOR SOME RECENT UNUSUAL ACTIVITY. FOR EXAMPLE, A STAKE-BED
TRUCK CARRYING FOUR POSSIBLE SCUD WARHEAD CANISTERS WAS REPORTED
ON 26 DECEMBER AND HAD DEPARTED BY 27 DECEMBER. THIS IS THE FIRST
TIME SUCH CANISTERS HAVE BEEN ASSOCIATED WITH SAMARRA, AND, IF THE
CANISTERS DID INDEED CONTAIN SCUD WARHEADS, THE EVENT WOULD
CONFIRM A SCUD CHEMICAL WARHEAD'S EXISTENCE. OTHER UNUSUAL CARGO
TRUCKS AND CRATES HAVE BEEN REPORTED RECENTLY AT THE MUNITION FILL
AREA, AS WELL AS THE BUNKERED STORAGE AREA.
