NORTHWEST OF BAGHDAD, IS 400 KILOGRAMS (APPROXIMATELY 180 LBS) PER
DAY.

TD BE 5 TO 10 TONS (11,000-22,000 KILOGRAMS) PER MONTH FOR THE
NERVE AGENT TABUN AND 20 TONS PER MONTH FOR SARIN. THE SHELF LIFE
OF IRAQI CHEMICALS IS QUITE SHORT DUE TO IMPURITIES RESULTING FROM

STOCKPILES OF CHEMICAL AGENTS. THE PRODUCTION ESTIMATE MADE BY
RELEASED HOSTAGES IS WITHIN THE CAPACITY OF THE SAMARRA FACILITY.
