/--OVERVIEW-ANALYTICAL COMMENTS--
/
/THE THREE POSSIBLE CW-RELATED FACILITIES NEAR HABBANIYAH WERE
/NEARLY IDENTICAL IN APPEARANCE [ (b)(1) sec 1.3(a)(4) ]
/ SINCE THAT TIME, HOWEVER, CONSTRUCTION AT HABBANIYAH POSSIBLE CW
/PRODUCTION FACILITY I [ (b)(2) ] AND HABBANIYAH POSSIBLE CW
/PRODUCTION FACILITY II [ (b)(2) ] LEAVES ONLY THIS FACILITY
/WITH IT'S ORIGINAL LAYOUT. THEY ARE OPERATED BY THE FRONT
/ORGANIZATION, STATE ESTABLISHMENT FOR PESTICIDE PRODUCTION (SEPP).
/ THEY ARE BELIEVED TO BE PRODUCTION FACILITIES FOR THE NERVE
/AGENTS GB AND GD (SARIN AND SOMAN) OR FOR THE PRODUCTION OF
/PRECURSOR CHEMICALS. AN INDIGENOUS PRECURSOR CHEMICAL PRODUCTION
/CAPABILITY WOULD ALLOW IRAQ TO CIRCUMVENT EXPORT CONTROL LAWS,
/LESSEN IRAQ'S DEPENDENCE ON AN UNSTABLE OPEN MARKET, AND MAKE IT
/MORE DIFFICULT TO MONITOR IRAQI CW PRODUCTION.

/

/NORTHWEST OF BAGHDAD AND 25 NM SOUTH OF SAMARRA IN CENTRAL IRAQ.

/FACILITY I [ (b)(2) ] AND 8 NM FROM HABBANIYAH POSSIBLE CW

/PRODUCTION BUILDING LOCATED IN THE CENTRAL PART OF THE FACILITY,
/AND FOUR PROBABLE DRIVE-THROUGH WAREHOUSE-STORAGE BUILDINGS EAST
/OF THE PROBABLE PRODUCTION BUILDING. IN ADDITION, A SQUARE
/POSSIBLE RESEARCH-LABORATORY BUILDING WITH AN OPEN COURTYARD, TWO
/POSSIBLE LABORATORY-SUPPORT BUILDINGS, A GUARD SHACK, AND A
/POSSIBLE FUEL PUMPING STATION WITH FOUR LARGE AND THREE SMALL
/STORAGE TANKS MOUNTED ON A CONCRETE PAD ARE WEST OF THE PROBABLE
/PRODUCTION BUILDING, NEAR THE ENTRANCE TO THE FACILITY.
