THAT THE FACILITY IS PROBABLY ENGAGED IN ITS SECOND CYCLE OF AGENT
PRODUCTION AND FILLING SINCE LATE AUGUST. NUMEROUS STAKE-BED
TRUCKS, SOME CARRYING CRATES ASSOCIATED WITH THE SHIPMENT OF CW
MATERIALS, HAVE BEEN OBSERVED IN FRONT OF ONE OF THE PROBABLE

VEHICLE IN THE SAME AREA SUGGESTS THAT THE PROBABLE CW MUNITIONS

HEAVIEST CW FILLING ACTIVITY NOTED AT SAMARRA SINCE THE IRAN-IRAQ
WAR.
